Abssac’s new electric linear actuator is suitable for general purpose linear applications, offering a high IP54 enclosure rating which protects the 12/24V DC motor, planetary gearbox and rack. As the design uses a rack and gear arrangement, there is no rotational force from the piston during operation and the physical stroke length can be manually adjusted and set. The series is suitable for applications in vibrating environments, offering less then 1mm backlash. The new linear actuator offers up to 80% duty cycle. Maximum force is 500N, with a top linear speed of 4mm/s. Optional extras to the standard actuator can include: potentiometer feedback, electronic limit switches (for overload protection), a forked attachment joint on piston M12, different linear speeds and other feedback options.
