Hello and welcome to ETO.

A generic name for such a thing would be "actuator".
However, I am not sure that I have ever seen anything in that sort of shape before.
Also, you do not say how big this thing is or how much force is required when the shaft is extended.

Sounds like you are describing a solenoid. A spring would keep it in the open position, then with power it woudl retract. The square shape may just be a hollow cover over that mechanism as solenoids are usually round.

It could also be done with a linear stepper motor. https://www.haydonkerkpittman.com/products/linearactuators
