Description

This *2 V industrial-duty (ID) linear actuator uses an efficient ball screw drive to lift loads up to **0 kgf [***0 lbs or ***0 N] and withstand static loads up to ***0 kgf [***0 lbs or *3,**0 N]. It has a maximum speed of *6.8 mm/s [0.*6″/s] at no load and *4.3 mm/s [0.*6″/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 a *-inch stroke (2.8″ usable) and a feedback potentiometer that 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 *2V 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 with acme screw drives (part number LACTx***0Ax) can move loads up to **0 kgf [**0 lbs or ***0 N] and withstand static loads up to **0 kgf [***0 lbs or ***0 N], while versions with more efficient ball screw drives (part number LACTx****0Bx) can move loads up to **0 kgf [***0 lbs or ***0 N] and withstand static loads up to ***0 kgf [***0 lbs or *3,**0 N].

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 IP*5).

These actuators are available in a variety of stroke lengths, from 4″ to *4″, and with optional potentiometers that are linked to the shaft position, for use in feedback systems:
 

The following specifications apply to all Glideforce ID series linear actuators with the standard *0:1 gear ratio:

 

A dimension diagram of the ID linear actuators are shown below. It applies both to versions with limit switches (**0AL and ***0BL) and to versions with limit switches and potentiometers (**0APL and ***0BPL), though note that the actual stroke length is affected by the kind of drive screw (acme or ball). For more detailed information, including the retracted and extended lengths of each version, see the datasheet.
