Miniature Linear Motion Series · L16

Actuonix Motion Devices’ unique line of Miniature Linear Actuators enables a new

generation of motion-enabled product designs, with capabilities that have never

before been combined in a device of this size. These linear actuators are a

superior alternative to designing your own push/pull mechanisms.

The L16 actuators are complete, self contained linear motion devices with position

feedback for sophisticated position control capabilities, end of stroke limit

switches for simple two position automation, or RC servo. Several gear ratios are

available to give you varied speed/force configurations.

Basis of Operation

The L16 is designed to push or pull a load along its full stroke length. The speed of

travel is determined by the load applied. (See the Load Curves). Actuator speed

can be reduced by lowering the drive voltage. When power is removed the

actuator will hold its position, unless the applied load exceeds the back drive force.

Repeated stalling or stalling for more than a few seconds will shorten the life of

the actuator significantly. Stalling is when an actuator is pushing a load that it

cannot move. Actuators should be tested in each specific application to determine

their effective life under those loading conditions and environment.
