Description
They’re small, light, quiet, and very durable. Ideal for applications where limited space is a necessity and little force is required. The Micro Utility Linear Actuator is Similar to the original F12 Actuators and is our new line of micro linear actuators featuring durable, slim, and lightweight design with all metal gears.
Mounting Points
Mounting these Micro Actuators is simple. Each end of the Actuator has 2 clevis holes that are 4.1mm dia (0.16" dia) so that a 4mm screw can be used to secure them. In addition, the moving end shaft of the Micro Actuator is able to rotate up to 180 degrees so that the holes do not need to line up with the motor end of the Actuator body.
Mounting the Body of the Actuator is also an option, you can mount to the durable plastic motor body or the aluminum shaft if desired. The benefit of using the 2 round clevis holes of the Actuator is that the Actuator is able to rotate and swivel as its moves which are likely for a lot of applications.
Control Options:
These Micro Actuators are a simple 2-wire configuration, this means that you simply supply a 12v DC power source to make the Actuator move, and reversing polarity will change its direction. Most people use a Rocker-Switch to perform this action, or perhaps a remote control system that has 2 buttons (Up and Down)
For greater control options such as timers, remote control, etc; these also work with our FIRGELLI FCB-1 and FCB-2 controllers with Feedback Off.
