Data Sheet

Option R – RC Linear Servo
WIRING: (see last page for pin numbering)
1 - White – RC input signal (RC-servo compatible)
2 - Red – Power (+6 VDC)
3 - Black – Ground
Note: Reversing the polarity of pins 2 and 3 may
permanently damage the actuator
-R actuators are ideally suited to use in robotics and
radio control models. The –R actuators or ‘linear servos’
are a direct replacement for regular radio controlled
hobby servos. The desired actuator position is input to
the actuator on lead 1 as a positive 5 Volt pulse width
signal. A 1.0 ms pulse commands the controller to fully
retract the actuator, and a 2.0 ms pulse signals it to fully
extend. If the motion of the actuator, or of other servos
in your system, seems erratic, place a 1–4Ω resistor in
series with the actuator’s red V+ lead wire.
L16 –R Linear Servos are the only 6 volt models in the
L16 range because they are designed to work with
typical RC receivers and battery packs. Consequently
they also are compatible with Arduino control boards,
VEX Microcontrollers and many other similar boards
designed for robotics.
Ordering
Small quantity orders can be placed directly online at
www.actuonix.com. Purchase orders, volume quotes,
and custom requests can be sent to [e-mail]
.
Each actuator ships with two mounting brackets, #8-32
mounting hardware and male connector pins. The cable
length is approximately 300mm and connector is a 0.1”
pitch female socket connector.
Custom Options
Contact Actuonix for quotes and lead-times on any non-
standard customizations. Typically we can modify the
stroke, limit switch positions, cable length and connector
on a minimum order quantity of 500 pieces.
Any modifications requiring mold changes will involve
higher MOQ and/or NRE fees.
