Have you an idea about the noise generated by a linear actuator. Knowing that this noise is not mechanical. This actuator has coils in the stator part and magnets in the translator part .
It may be because any coil might look as antenna and/or parts of transformer (generally depending on the wavelength, inductance and size of coil). Industrial electromagnetic noise always is here.
To determine the noise origin, a FFT of the signal should be done. And based on the results stablish the source. For example if 50Hz (60Hz) frequency is present the noise is from a induction from the grid,
