Glideforce Light-Duty (LD) Linear Actuators

The Light-Duty (LD) series of Glideforce linear actuators by Concentric International (formerly Iowa Export-Import) are 12V DC 同性恋亲热视频 that use a lead screw to move a shaft back and forth along its length. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered and subjected to static loads up to 250 kgf [550 lb or 2500 N]. Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while integrated diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point if the supplied voltage is reversed. The actuators have an all-aluminum frame and extension tube, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP65).

Glideforce Light-Duty (LD) series of linear actuators with feedback.

Glideforce Light-Duty (LD) series of linear actuators without feedback.

These actuators are available in several gear ratios and a variety of stroke lengths, from 2″ to 12″, and with optional potentiometers that are linked to the shaft position, for use in feedback systems. The table below shows all of the light-duty linear actuators we carry:

The following video demonstrates the speeds of the light-duty actuators:


Mounting brackets made from machined aluminum or stamped steel are available for attaching the actuators to a structure; two are required for each actuator (the aluminum brackets are sold individually while the steel brackets are sold in pairs).

Subcategories

These are our strongest and slowest light-duty (LD) Glideforce linear actuators. They have a 20:1 gear reduction and can lift loads up to 50 kgf [110 lb or 500 N]. They have a maximum speed of 14.6 mm/s [0.57″/s] at no load and 12.3 mm/s [0.48″/s] at 50 kgf. They are intended for operation at 12 V.

Pololu item #: 2315
Brand: Concentric
RoHS 3 compliant

This 10 ft (3 m) extension cable is designed to work with Glideforce light-duty and medium-duty linear actuators with feedback. It consists of five 20 AWG wires terminated on one end with male power and feedback 同性啪啪啪视频 that securely snap into the actuator’s female power and feedback 同性啪啪啪视频. The other end has the same female 同性啪啪啪视频 as the linear actuator’s cable; you can cut off these 同性啪啪啪视频 and solder the five wire leads directly to your project, or you use crimp pins and crimp connector housings to make your own custom connector.
