Optical Feedback Linear Actuators
Optical Feedback Linear Actuators
Model #
Arduino Synchronous Control
Spec Sheet
Description
When you need to know 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 have no built-in controller, but do provide single phase pulses as position feedback signal that can be input to an external controller such as an Arduino.
Features and Benefits
- 10 hole optical encoder disk
- 50 pulse/inch of stroke for the 35lbs (+/-5 pulses)
- 100 pulses.inch of stoke for the 200lbs and 400lbs units
- Internal limit switches automatically shuts off the unit at the end of stroke - This protects you and your equipment from possible damage.
- Huge range of stoke options as standard: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 30 inches are available - Gives you more flexibility.
- 3 Force options - 35lbs 200lbs and 400lbs for greater flexibility
- IP66 rated – dust proof and water resistant - Because it never hurts to have more protection than you actually need
- Maintenance free - Gives you more free time to do more important things
- CE and RoHS certified - for extra comfort knowing they are certified for safe use.
Brackets
