Description
Super Duty Linear Actuator – High Force, Quiet Operation, Precision Feedback
The Super Duty Linear Actuator is engineered for demanding applications, combining rugged durability with smooth and quiet performance. Built with heavy-duty materials, each unit features a worm gear drive mechanism, making it significantly quieter and far more resistant to back-driving than traditional actuator designs.
Housed in a thick, high-strength aluminum case with matching aluminum rods, these actuators are designed to withstand substantial force while maintaining long-term reliability. They are available in two force/speed configurations and multiple stroke lengths ranging from 2" to 40", in 2-inch increments.
Each actuator includes integrated end-of-stroke limit switches to safely stop motion at both fully extended and retracted positions. A built-in 4-wire Hall Effect Sensor provides high-resolution positional feedback for synchronized or closed-loop control systems. If you don't need positional feedback, you can ignore these Hall sensor wires and run the Actuator perfectly from the 2 Actuator wires.
We call it the "Super Duty" Actuator because it delivers everything you need quiet operation, precise feedback, compact design, rugged build quality, and flexible stroke options, all in one powerful package.
Features and Benefits
- ✔️ Works perfectly with Control board FCB-1 or FCB-2 for the ultimate in Actuator control
- ✔️ Rugged compact design for universal hardy applications. These units are smaller than other actuators for the same force output
- ✔️ Metal Alloy Casing, for any Super Duty usage, utilizing a completely sealed enclosure, ready to be deployed in any application.
- ✔️ Internal limit switches automatically shut off the unit at the end of the stroke - This protects you and your equipment from possible damage.
- ✔️ Worm gear drive system for quiet, smooth operation.
- ✔️ 2" stroke increment range of stroke options up to 40" stroke, gives you more flexibility.
- ✔️ Delivering force options from 220 to 450 lbs.
- ✔️ Optional Hall sensor feedback built-in. If you want to use it, ignore if you don't need it. 4 wires for the Feedback are included on all these models (black, white, and red). Controller FCB-1 or FCB-2 to give you full actuator control options, including speed adjustment, limit switch adjusting, and timer function
- ✔️ Actuator wiring is simple. 2x 18AWG wires (Brown & Blue) for the motor. Reversing polarity changes the direction of operation. 4x 20AWG wires (Red/Yellow/Black/White) for the sensor. (View any of the dimensional drawings for the wiring outputs)
- ✔️ IP66 rated – this offers dustproof and water-resistant
- ✔️ Variable Speed control - Use FCB-2 or FA-SC2 to have full control over speed
- ✔️ Maintenance-free - Gives you more free time to do more important things
- ✔️ Accessories sold separately include: Actuator Brackets - Remote Controls - Switches - Micro-Controllers - Power Supplies
- ✔️ For help with wiring up a Linear Actuator to other devices such as remotes, controllers, multiple Actuators, etc. please use our Wiring Generator
- ✔️ Brackets: MB17, MB20 & MB21
