Description
- Glideforce LACT2-12V-05 Light-Duty Linear Actuator
- 15kgf, 2" Stroke (1.97" Usable), 1.7"/s, 12V
- Engineered for 12V efficient performance in light-duty applications
- Lift up to 15 kgf with compact 5:1 gear reduction design
- Achieve smooth, controlled movements with limit switch precision
- Secure stability with unpowered position-hold capability
- Protected by IP65 for dust proofing and water resistance
The Glideforce LACT2-12V-05 Light-Duty Linear Actuator is engineered to provide efficient and reliable performance for light-duty applications. This actuator is capable of lifting loads up to 15 kgf, making it suitable for a variety of tasks requiring moderate force. It features a 5:1 gear reduction, which enhances its lifting capability while maintaining a compact design.
The actuator operates at a maximum speed of 1.73 inches per second when unloaded, and 1.44 inches per second under maximum load conditions. This ensures a balance between speed and power, allowing for smooth and controlled movements. The inclusion of limit switches at both ends of the actuator's range of motion facilitates precise control, preventing overextension and ensuring safety during operation.

With a 2-inch stroke, of which 1.97 inches is usable, this actuator is designed for applications where space is limited but reliable actuation is required. The shaft is designed to hold its position when unpowered, providing stability and reducing the need for a constant power supply. This model does not include a feedback potentiometer, focusing on straightforward actuation without additional feedback mechanisms.
