Electric Actuators

Move loads with consistent, repeatable push-pull motion. These actuators hold their loads in position even if power fails.

To protect the motor from overload when the extension rod is at the end of the stroke, all actuators have either a limit switch or clutch.

All actuators have a clevis hole on each end for mounting.

Fixed Limit Switch—Fixed limit switches cannot be moved to adjust the length of the stroke.

Adjustable Limit Switch—Move adjustable limit switches to change the length of the stroke.

Automatic—Actuators with automatic overload protection prevent damage to the motor from overheating. They have a switch that shuts off the motor if it’s too warm or if it exceeds the maximum duty cycle. The switch automatically resets once the motor is cool enough to operate.

Rotating—Secure both ends of actuators with rotating extension rods to fixed surfaces, so the rod extends and retracts instead of rotates. Twist the extension rod until the clevis holes line up with your mounting bracket.

Nonrotating—Only the motor body end of actuators with nonrotating extension rods needs to be mounted to a fixed surface. Their clevis ends cannot twist.

Maximum Speed—Maximum speed is how fast the actuator will move under no-load conditions. If you increase the load, the actuator speed will decrease. Use a speed-load chart to confirm which actuator will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the chart for an actuator.

Compact Stepper Motor Electric Actuators

Front

Back

A lead screw that converts rotational motion to linear motion sits inside the motor body for a compact footprint. Add a driver and controller to these actuators to repeatedly position loads with speed and precision. Moving in small, equal steps, these actuators are good for jobs requiring fine motion control, such as positioning electrical components on a circuit board. Their load stays in position even when a counteracting force is applied, so you don’t need encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load an actuator can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the load-speed chart and confirm the actuator will work for your application.

Bipolar—All have bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.

Nonrotating—The splined shaft keeps the rod from rotating as it extends and retracts.

Travel Distance per Full Step—Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the actuator's positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have, but the more steps it will take to go the same distance.

Miniature Electric Actuators with Automated Controls


Rod Style	Slide Table Style

Smaller than any other actuator in our offering, these actuators’ short stroke length makes them good for automating fine, precise adjustments. They’re often used for aligning, pressing, and diverting. They come with an all-in-one motion control system to set the speed, timing, and position with buttons—no programming is required.

Rod-Style Actuator—Rod-style actuators have threads on the front of the rod.

Slide-Table-Style Actuator—Slide table-style actuators give you setup flexibility, since you can mount equipment on top or in front. Mount on top to reduce the space you need to move a full stroke length.

Programming Cables—Actuators with 6 5/8" retracted lg. come pre-programmed with no extra software required. For all other actuators, use a programming cable (sold separately) and free downloadable software to program the controller.

Plug-In Electric Actuators with Manual Controls

Control Panels

Without any hardwiring, these actuators give you control over your push-pull motion using either a hand or foot switch. Plug the actuator and the hand or foot switch into the control box (all sold separately). If power fails, actuators hold their loads in position. Both actuator ends must be secured to fixed surfaces for the rod to extend and retract rather than rotate. Twist the extension rod until the clevis holes line up with your mounting holes. Fasten with clevis pins.

IP04 Enclosure Rating—IP04 rated actuators stand up to splashing water.

Brake—The brake prevents loads from shifting even slightly, making these actuators useful in vertical and high-vibration applications.

Control Panels—Control panels supply power to actuators and switches. They have their own overload protection switch, which prevents damage to the actuator from overheating. If triggered, manually reset the switch after the actuator has cooled.
