Linear Actuators

Introduction
AccuWeb linear actuators are available with a wide variety of motor technologies, power ratings,
stroke lengths, and end-of-travel sensor options:
• Motor technologies include brush and brushless DC motors. Power ratings span the range of
20 to 746 watts (1.0 HP).
• Standard stroke lengths range from ± 1” to ± 6” [± 25mm to ± 152mm]. Other lengths are
available upon request.
• End-of-travel options include limit switch or potentiometer feedback. Potentiometer feedback
permits quick adjustment of end-of-travel and servo-center limits by setting controller
parameters. All actuators have servo-center capability.
Setup
Actuators with limit switches (MM, MME, MN, MNE, and MX) actuators require no setup. Their
end-of-travel limits are factory set.
Actuators with potentiometer feedback (MT, SF, HL, HF, HT, and UHT) may require some setup.
They have adjustable end-of-travel limits and these may need to be changed in order to prevent
mechanical jamming of the actuator or guide mechanism. Use the following table to set the initial
values of the In Limit, Out Limit, and Servo-Center Position parameters. Refer to page 17 for
more information about setting controller parameters.
Caution: To prevent mechanical jamming of the actuator do not set the end-of-travel limits
beyond the range of values shown in the table. Also, make sure the limits conform to the following
relationship:
In Limit ≤ Servo-Center Limit ≤ Out Limit

MT-1 2.00 [50.8] ≥ 36 128 ≤ 220
MT-2, SF-2 4.00 [101.6] ≥ 36 128 ≤ 220
MT-4, SF-4 8.00 [203.2] ≥ 36 128 ≤ 220
MT-6, SF-6 12.00 [304.8] ≥ 36 128 ≤ 220
HL-3, HF-3 6.00 [152.4] ≥ 51 128 ≤ 205
HL-6, HF-6 12.00 [304.8] ≥ 51 128 ≤ 205
HT-4 8.00 [203.2] ≥ 67 128 ≤ 189
HT-6 12.00 [304.8] ≥ 36 128 ≤ 220
UHT-4 8.00 [203.2] ≥ 46 128 ≤ 210
UHT-6 12.00 [304.8] ≥ 67 128 ≤ 189
UHT-10 20.00 [508.0] ≥ 26 128 ≤ 230
UHT-24 46.00 [1168.4] ≥ 10 128 ≤ 246
Note: The In Limit and Out Limit values shown in the table for the UHT-24 actuator reduce its
nominal range of motion from 48.00” [1219.2mm] to 46.00” [1168.4mm]. This prevents the
mechanical jamming of this actuator.
