Introduction:
This linear actuator has a built-in potentiometer with three output wires connected. When the linear actuator moves, the resistance value between the output lines changes accordingly. In this way, we can obtain the corresponding movement position of the linear actuator by measuring the resistance value.
Application:
Mainly used for doors, windows, cellars, trapdoors, hatchways, solar tracking system, medical devices, agricultural machinery, vehicles, ships, elevator platforms, lifting tables, TV lifts, robots, cabinetries, massage sofas, electric beds, medical chairs, and other electrical equipment.

The linear actuator has two built-in limit switches, When the linear actuator is fully retracted or fully extended, it will stop automatically.
We can adjust the position of the built-in limit switches during production to meet customer-specified stroke and retraction lengths. For example, specify the stroke length of 780MM and the retraction length of 1070MM.
Note: The specified retraction length must be greater than the original length, and the specified stroke must be less than the original stroke.
Fixed Bracket:
1. This linear actuator does not contain fixed mounting brackets, please click here to purchase.
2. Each linear actuator would require two mounting brackets, one to fix the head of linear actuator and another to fix the bottom of linear actuator.
3. Compatible Mounting Brackets: Bracket B, Bracket D, Bracket G and Bracket H .
4. This linear actuator is also compatible with two flat mounting brackets: Head Fixed Mounting Circular Disk Bracket (Model 0043075) and Bottom Fixed Mounting Square Plate Bracket (Model 0043076) .
(When you have purchased flat mounting bracket along with linear actuators, we will install flat mounting bracket on the linear actuator during production for you.)
Operation:
The electric linear actuator has a five-core cable.
1. The brown and blue lines are two power lines of the electric linear actuator.
When the brown power wire is connected to the positive pole of the DC power supply and the blue power wire is connected to the negative pole of the DC power supply, the stroke rod will extend outward; after switching the power in the reverse direction, the stroke rod will retract inward.
2. The red, green and yellow wires are the three output wires of the potentiometer.
The green and yellow wires are connected to the two terminals of the potentiometer, it is a fixed resistance value.
When the linear actuator moves, the resistance value between red wire and green wire or red wire and yellow wire changes accordingly. In this way, we can obtain the corresponding movement position of the linear actuator by measuring the resistance value. When the linear actuator is extended outwards, the resistance value between red and yellow wires will decrease accordingly, and the resistance value between red and green wires will increase accordingly. When the linear actuator is retracted inward, the resistance value between red and yellow wires will increase accordingly, and the resistance value between red and green wires will decrease accordingly.
For example, a linear actuator with a stroke of 150mm and a built-in potentiometer of 10K ohms.
When the linear actuator is fully retracted, the resistance value between red wire and green wire is 0.4K ohms, and the resistance value between red wire and yellow wire is 9.6K ohms.
When the linear actuator is extended to the 100mm position, the resistance value between red wire and green wire is 3.3K ohms, and the resistance value between red wire and yellow wire is 6.7K ohms.
When the linear actuator is fully extended, the resistance value between red wire and green wire is 4.8K ohms, and the resistance value between red wire and yellow wire is 5.2K ohms.

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. Full load speed is approximately 60-70% of No-load speed.
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. The maximum pull force of the linear actuator is slightly less than its maximum thrust force.
