The rules about what kinds of actuators you can use are relatively strict and it will really help if you have a particular actuator (or just an example of one that you might use) to show us what you are talking about. Even "Linear Electrical Actuators" is somewhat vague as there are different types.

In fact this is a good lesson in professional discourse, in order to get a high quality answer, you need to provide a high quality question. An example of a higher quality question would be:

"I have looked at the rules about actuators and have some questions. Is it legal to use a linear actuator that is electrically powered? We are thinking of something like this one here. What about something bigger like this?"

If you can give a little more detail then I'm sure one of the people around here will be able to help you better interpret the rulebook. The rules can often be intimidating for newer students : )
