      Description

      ***WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE IN 2025***

      When you need to know the exact positioning of your actuators, the Optical Feedback series is what you need. This powerful, reliable actuator comes with a built-in optical sensor that provides feedback when you need it.  The Optical Feedback has no built-in controller but does provide single-phase pulses as a position feedback signal that can be input to an external controller such as an Arduino

      To move between two and four actuators in synchronous we recommend our dedicated control board, the FA-SYNC-X. A video tutorial on how to use this product is available here

      CAD models of this actuator can be found under Resources/3D Files

      Features and Benefits

      • 10 hole optical encoder disk for the 200lbs and 400lbs units
      • 4 slotted optical encoder disk for the 35lbs units
      • 20 pulse/inch of stroke for the 35lbs (+/-5 pulses)
      • 100 pulses. inch of stoke for the 200lbs and 400lbs units
      • Internal limit switches automatically shut off the unit at the end of the stroke - This protects you and your equipment from possible damage.
      • 3 Force options - 35lbs 200lbs and 400lbs for greater flexibility
      • Maintenance-free - Gives you more free time to do more important things
      • Accessories sold separately
