Actuator

[uswt]

Hi,
i need to find a economical way to operate a master cylinder for a project I am working on. I only need a inch or so of linear travel and the force required is less than 10 lbs. The voltage I have to work with is DC and can be anything up to 24 vdc. I prefer 0-10 VDC.


Thanks

Greg

This may be more than what your looking for, but try looking at BSA, Warner Linear, and Thomson...all now owned by Danaher. Oriega sp? Action Jack, Joyce jacks.

here are a few links:

Hi Greg (uswt),

If you have difficulty finding a proportional actuator for your project, I may be able to help you configure something that will work. I’m assuming a stepper is out because of the need for a full-retract mode of operation in the event of a power loss – correct?

You can get a complete system in perhaps one day from Intelligent Actuator for about 875.00. They run 24vdc with closed lood servo control, 16 programmable positions and can even be used as a crude type of load cell or clamp. they take about 2 minutes to program and can even be taught positions.
