Start with the required force at the actuator mounting point, stroke, available retracted and extended space, desired speed, duty cycle, supply voltage, environmental exposure, and whether feedback is needed. Use the Linear Actuator Calculator, then compare the result with the current specifications in the linear actuator collection.

Calculate force at the actuator, not simply the weight of the door or load. Pivot position, mounting angle, friction, acceleration, wind, and the worst point in the travel can increase required force substantially. Use the Linear Actuator Calculator and leave a suitable engineering margin.

Stroke is the distance travelled by the actuator rod or carriage between its retracted and extended limits. It is not necessarily the same as the distance moved by a hinged door or linkage.

For a conventional rod actuator, extended mounting length is normally the retracted mounting length plus the stroke. Always use the dimension table or drawing for the exact model because end fittings and housings vary.

Often, yes. Within the same actuator family, higher-force gearing normally trades speed for mechanical advantage. Compare the force and speed table for the exact variant rather than assuming every model follows the same ratio.

Duty cycle limits motor heating. A 25% duty cycle, for example, means the actuator should run for no more than one quarter of the complete run-and-rest period under the stated conditions. Load, ambient temperature, voltage, and ventilation can reduce usable runtime.

Match the actuator voltage to the controller and power supply. A 24V system can reduce current for comparable power and may reduce voltage drop on long cable runs, but never apply 24V to a variant rated only for 12V.

Use the actuator's loaded or maximum current, not its no-load current. Add startup margin, include every actuator that can run simultaneously, and keep the supply within the controller's voltage and current limits.

Choose the IP rating from the actual exposure. Rain, dust, washdown, temporary immersion, connectors, and cable entry are different conditions. An IP-rated actuator is not automatically suitable for submersion or pressure washing.

Sometimes. Match the required force throughout the motion, stroke, mounting lengths, available space, speed, duty cycle, voltage, and bracket geometry. A powered actuator also needs wiring and a safe method of supporting the load if power or a component fails.

It can when the electrical and mechanical requirements match. Compare voltage, peak current, force, speed, stroke, retracted and extended lengths, clevis dimensions, mounting orientation, duty cycle, IP rating, feedback type, and connector pinout before ordering.

Side load is force acting across the rod or carriage instead of along its intended axis. It can cause binding, seal wear, bent rods, damaged bearings, and shortened screw life even when the axial load is within the force rating.

Keep the actuator aligned with the load and allow its clevis ends to pivot through the full motion. Avoid side load and rigid misalignment. Use compatible mounting brackets and verify clearance at both travel limits before applying power.

Do not rely on an actuator as the only safety support for a suspended or overhead load. Use a mechanical stop, lock, brake, or independently rated secondary support appropriate to the hazard.

Usually, but preserve wire gauge, polarity, shielding where fitted, and every feedback conductor. Longer cables increase voltage drop and electrical noise. Document the colour change and use sealed connectors where moisture is present.

Internal end-of-travel limit switches stop the motor at full extension and retraction. They do not provide intermediate position control, and they do not replace external safety interlocks where unexpected motion could be hazardous.

Feedback produces a signal related to actuator movement or position. A compatible controller can use that signal for synchronization, position display, learned limits, or closed-loop control.

Hall and optical sensors normally produce pulses as the actuator moves, so the controller counts movement from a calibrated reference. A potentiometer provides an analogue voltage related to absolute position. Controllers are not automatically compatible with all three types.

Two ordinary actuators can be powered together, but manufacturing tolerances and unequal loads allow them to drift. Use matched feedback actuators and a synchronizing controller when skew could bind the mechanism or damage the load.

No. A synchronized set should use the same actuator family, voltage, force or gearing option, stroke, and feedback type. Mixing models can exceed controller correction range and create mechanical binding.

Apply the actuator's rated DC voltage to the two motor wires. Reversing polarity reverses direction. Use a correctly rated reversing switch, relay arrangement, or controller; do not connect an actuator directly to a low-current logic output. The Wiring Diagram Generator provides common circuits.

A reversing actuator normally uses a DPDT rocker switch wired to reverse motor polarity. Match the switch current rating to the actuator and use a fuse near the power source. Select Rocker Switch in the Wiring Diagram Generator for the appropriate diagram.

Use a remote receiver rated for the actuator voltage and current. Connect power to the receiver and its reversing output to the actuator according to the receiver diagram. Choose a remote system from the actuator controls collection, then confirm the circuit in the Wiring Diagram Generator.

Yes, when the receiver and power supply can carry the combined current. A basic receiver can move both actuators together but does not keep them synchronized. For alignment under unequal loads, use feedback actuators and an FCB controller.

Use separate reversing channels or a multi-channel remote system so each actuator has its own output. Size the common supply and fuse arrangement for the maximum number of actuators that can run at once.

Use relays or a motor driver when the command device cannot safely switch the actuator current. The relay contacts carry motor current while the low-current control signal operates the relay coil or driver input.

Install overcurrent protection close to the power source so the supply wiring is protected. Select the rating from the actuator, controller, wire gauge, startup current, and manufacturer instructions; do not simply fit the largest fuse that avoids nuisance trips.

A compatible PWM speed controller can reduce speed by changing the average motor voltage. It cannot make an actuator faster than its rated speed, and excessive reduction can reduce available starting torque or increase heating under load.

Yes. External limit switches can create intermediate stopping points or protect a mechanism before the internal end limits are reached. The circuit must allow reverse current so the actuator can move away from a tripped limit. Use the Wiring Diagram Generator to select the External Limit Switch option.

Yes, but the Arduino or PLC should command a suitably rated relay, H-bridge, or actuator controller. Do not power the actuator from a logic pin. Share grounds only where the chosen interface requires it and protect the control electronics from motor noise.

Check supply voltage at the actuator while a move is commanded, fuse continuity, controller output polarity, loose terminals, emergency stops, and whether an internal or external limit is open. Then test the actuator briefly with a correctly fused direct supply if the product instructions allow it.

A two-wire actuator needs opposite polarity for the other direction. A failed switch contact, relay, controller output, wiring connection, or external-limit diode can allow one direction while blocking the other.

Likely causes include too much load, poor linkage geometry, binding, low supply voltage, an undersized power supply, long or undersized wiring, or a controller current limit. Measure voltage at the actuator while it is moving.

Motor startup current can pull an undersized supply below the controller's minimum voltage. Check supply capacity, cable voltage drop, loose connections, shared loads, and the total current of all actuators starting together.

Heating can result from excessive duty cycle, overload, binding, low voltage with high current, rapid reversing, high ambient temperature, or poor cooling. Stop the system and correct the cause rather than using temperature alone as the control method.

Small motor-speed differences and unequal load make open-loop actuators accumulate position error. Mechanical guides do not remove the electrical mismatch. Use matched feedback actuators and a compatible synchronizing controller where alignment matters.

Check for a mechanical obstruction, side load, voltage drop, controller current limit, external limit switch, programmed soft limit, or overload. Compare the measured mounting distance with the product's retracted and extended dimensions.

Back-driving depends on screw type, gearing, load, vibration, and installation angle. Some actuator families resist it better than others. Use a brake, mechanical lock, gas spring, or secondary support when uncontrolled motion could cause harm.

Do not intentionally stall an actuator unless its controller and product instructions are designed for that operating mode. A stalled DC motor draws high current and can damage the motor, gears, wiring, switch, or controller.

The four-channel system provides separate remote channels. Verify the receiver wiring and current rating for the exact arrangement before connecting four motors. View the product specifications.

No. Independent radio channels do not provide closed-loop synchronization. Use matched feedback actuators with an FCB controller when the mechanism must remain level. View the product specifications.

No. It can reduce motor speed below the actuator's normal speed; it cannot exceed the speed set by supply voltage, gearing, and load. View the product specifications.

Only when its voltage and current rating covers the combined startup and running current. A shared speed setting does not synchronize the actuator positions. View the product specifications.

A momentary switch returns to off when released, so the actuator moves only while the switch is held. A sustaining switch remains in the selected position until changed. Choose based on the required operating and safety behaviour. View the product specifications.

Yes. A correctly wired DPDT switch reverses polarity to the motor. The switch, fuse, wire, and connectors must all be rated for actuator current. View the product specifications.

It stops travel at an application-defined point before the actuator reaches its internal end limit. The diode arrangement allows motion away from the tripped switch. View the product specifications.

No. They add application limits. Keep the internal end limits operational and use mechanical stops or safety interlocks where the consequence of overtravel is serious. View the product specifications.

Divide by measured simultaneous current, not actuator count alone. Include startup current, controller consumption, cable loss, and margin; also check that each actuator and controller is rated for 12V. View the product specifications.
