DC Linear Actuator L16-50-35-12-P

The Actuonix L16 series of linear actuators are compact DC motors geared to push or pull loads along the stroke of the actuator. This actuator comes with a built-in potentiometer, allowing your application to monitor the actuator’s position.

The 3570 linear actuator has a stroke length of 50mm and a 35:1 gearbox. It is able to move at a rate of 32 mm/s and can exert up to 50N of force at lower speeds.

Comes packaged with

• Two mounting clamps
• Two mounting brackets
• Two rod end options: a clevis end and a threaded end with nut

Connection

In order to connect this actuator to a terminal block, you’ll need to cut off the 5-pin connector and strip the wires. For more details, see the “Compatible Products” tab.

Warning

This actuator does not have built-in limit switches, so you may damage the motor or gears if you run the actuator beyond its minimum or maximum stroke. We recommend using the actuator’s built-in potentiometer in your program to ensure that the motor is shut off whenever the potentiometer voltage gets close to 0V or 5V. Have a look at the “Resources” tab for a link to a project that implements a control loop using the potentiometer value.
