Glideforce LACT18-500APL Industrial-Duty Linear Actuator with Acme Drive and Feedback: 250kgf, 18" Stroke (17.5" Usable), 0.66"/s, 12V
This 12V industrial-duty (ID) linear actuator uses anacme screw driveto lift loads up to250kgf [550lbs or 2500N]and withstand static loads up to450kgf [1000lbs or 4500N]. It has a maximum speed of 16.8mm/s [0.66″/s] at no load and 14.3mm/s [0.56″/s] at the maximum load. Limit switches at each end make the actuator easy to control over its full range of motion, and an overload clutch protects the actuator from being damaged by excessive loads. The shaft holds its position when unpowered. This version has a18-inch stroke (17.5″ usable)and afeedback potentiometerthat lets you determine where the actuator is in its stroke.
The Industrial-Duty (ID) series of Glideforce linear actuators by Concentric International (formerly Iowa Export-Import) are powerful 12V DC gearmotors that use an acme screw drive or ball screw drive to move a shaft back and forth along its length. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered. The versions withacme screw drives(part number LACTx-500Ax) can move loads up to 250kgf [550lbs or 2500N] and withstand static loads up to 450kgf [1000lbs or 4500N], while versions with more efficientball screw drives(part number LACTx-1000Bx) can move loads up to 450kgf [1000lbs or 4500N] and withstand static loads up to 1360kgf [3000lbs or 13,600N].
Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while integrated diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point if the supplied voltage is reversed, and a built-in overload clutch protects the actuator from excessive dynamic loads. The actuators have an all-steel frame and extension tube, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP65).
