Linear Actuators By Mech Linear Systems

Linear ActuatorStep 1: Determine the load and speed Consider the operating environment, compare the specifications of various types of Hiwin Linear Actuators and select the most appropriate model. Step 2: Stroke and retracted length sizing Consider the dimensions of the operating area and select the appropriate actuator. Step 3: Duty cycle Duty cycles should not exceed 10%. If the duty cycle exceeds 10%, the life of the actuator can be reduced. Users should make sure that no torsion or impact forces are acting upon the actuator. Step 4: Controller sizing The controller selection should be made according to the power requirements of the actuator. Other considerations include the number of axes, type of limit switches and the series of keypad.
