The Firgelli L16 series of linear actuators are compact DC motors geared to push or pull loads along the stroke of the actuator. This actuator comes with a built-in potentiometer, allowing your application to monitor the actuator's position.
The 3570 linear actuator has a stroke length of 50mm and a 35:1 gearbox. It is able to move at a rate of 32 mm/s and can exert up to 50N of force at lower speeds.
Comes Packaged with:
Two mounting clamps
Two mounting brackets
Two rod end options: a clevis end and a threaded end with nut
Controllers:
The 3570 DC linear actuator connects to either
of the following controllers:
1064 - PhidgetMotorControl HC
1065 - PhidgetMotorControl 1-Motor
In order to connect this actuator to a terminal block, you'll need to cut off the 5-pin connector and strip the wires.
If you decide to use the 1065, you can connect the integrated potentiometer
by soldering the wires to a sensor cable and connecting it to one
of the board's analog inputs. If you decide to use the 1064, you'll
also need a device with an analog input to read the potentiometer.
