What is the difference between Static Load and Dynamic Load?

Static Load is the maximum thrust load, including shock load, that should be applied to a non-moving screw or actuator while it is fixed or stationary. The static load capacity is how much weight an actuator can hold safely.

Dynamic Load is the maximum recommended thrust load which should be applied to the screw or actuator while in motion. The dynamic load capacity is how much an actuator can push or pull while it is powered and extending or retracting.
