Different no-load speeds and corresponding maximum thrust:
| No-load Speed | Maximum Thrust |
| 5mm/s | 2000N / 200 kg / 450 lbs |
| 10mm/s | 1000N / 100 kg / 200 lbs |
| 15mm/s | 800N / 80 kg / 180 lbs |
| 20mm/s | 700N / 70 kg / 160 lbs |
| 30mm/s | 500N / 50 kg / 110 lbs |
| 50mm/s | 300N / 30 kg / 60 lbs |
| 100mm/s | 150N / 15 kg / 30 lbs |
| 160mm/s | 100N / 10 kg / 20 lbs |
Note:
1. The above data is the maximum load capacity that can be obtained when the linear actuator runs in the vertical direction. If the weight of your equipment (such as a cellar door) is 100kg, and you want to use a linear actuator to open this door, you need to calculate the actual force acting on the linear actuator according to your installation method. This force is usually 2-5 times the weight of the cellar door. If you don't know how to calculate it, please contact us for help.
2. The above is the speed at no load, and the actual working speed will gradually slow down as the load increases.
3. Different speeds correspond to different maximum loads. Please select the right speed according to the speed and maximum load you need.
4. Linear actuators are not recommended for continuous operation under maximum load, we recommend letting it work at about half of the maximum load to get a longer working life.
5. For linear actuators with a stroke greater than 500MM, you should not normally allow them to operate at their maximum stroke under heavy loads. If the actual stroke you want is 600MM, we recommend that you choose a linear actuator with a stroke of 700-800MM.
6. When the speed of the linear actuator is 100mm/s or 160mm/s, the self-locking force is much smaller than the thrust. At other speeds the self-locking force is greater than the thrust.
7. The maximum pull force of the linear actuator is slightly less than its maximum thrust force.
Wiring:
If use a manual switch to control the linear actuator, do as following:
1. Connect two wires of DC power supply to two power terminals of the manual switch, and you can exchange these two wires to change the moving direction of linear actuator.
2. Connect the linear actuator, two magnetic reed switches and the two diodes to the manual switch, please follow the connection diagram below for specific wiring.
Operation by manual switch:
1. Press and hold the button <UP> on the manual switch: linear actuator extends outward, when it moves to the position of a magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
2. Press and hold the button <DOWN> on the manual switch: linear actuator inward retracts, when it moves to the position of another magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
Wiring for remote switch:
If use a remote switch to control the linear actuator, do as following:
1. Connect two wires of DC power supply to two terminals of the remote switch input.
2. Connect two wires of linear actuator to two terminals <Motor> of the controller, and you can exchange these two wires to change the moving direction of linear actuator.
3. Connect two magnetic reed switches to the limit control terminals of the remote switch, please follow the connection diagram below for specific wiring.
Operation by remote switch:
1. Press and hold the button ▲ on the remote: linear actuator extends outward, when it moves to the position of a magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
2. Press and hold the button ▼ on the remote: linear actuator inward retracts, when it moves to the position of another magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
How to adjust the position of the magnetic switch:
You can use a small screwdriver to loosen the fixing screw of the magnetic switch, then move the magnetic switch to a suitable position and tighten the fixing screw again.
Note: If the positions of the two magnetic switches are reversed, please swap their positions.
Production time:
The linear actuators are the customized products, and these products are not in stock, we need to spend 3~7 working days to produce them according to the specified parameters in your order.
Return or Exchange:
The Linear Actuators are the customized products, we need to produce them according to the specified parameters in your order, so that we do not accept returns or cancel orders. If customers order unsuitable linear actuators themselves, we also do not accept exchanges, please understand.
We can provide 3D CAD model files in STEP format for linear actuators. Please contact us by e-mail if you need them.
