Description

***DISCONTINUED MANUFACTURING IN 2023. WE ONLY HAVE WHAT IS LISTED AS IN STOCK. NO NEW UNITS GOING FORWARD***

When you need to know the exact positioning of your actuators, the Optical Feedback series is what you want. This actuator comes with a built-in optical sensor that provides feedback when you need it. The Optical Feedback has no built-in controller, but does provide single-phase pulses as a feedback signal that can be input to an external controller such as an .

To move between 2 and 4 synchronized actuators, we recommend our dedicate Control board . A video tutorial on how to use this product is available .

CAD models of this actuator can be found under . For further information review the specifications and technical drawings down below or visit our for instructions on how to use this actuator with switches, remotes, speed controllers, and Arduino.

Features and Benefits

10 hole optical encoder disk for the 200lbs and 400lbs units
4 slotted optical encoder disk for the 35lbs units
20 pulse/inch of stroke for the 35lbs ( /-5 pulses)
100 pulses/inch of stoke for the 200lbs and 400lbs units
Internal limit switches automatically shut off the unit at the end of the stroke - This protects you and your equipment from possible damage.
Huge range of stoke options as standard: 1, 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
Maintenance-free - Gives you more free time to do more important things
Accessories sold separately include: - - -
Variable Speed control - Use to have full control over speed
Works perfectly with Control board for the ultimate in Actuator control
