Miniature Linear Motion Series · P16
Actuonix Motion Devices unique line of Miniature Linear Actuators enables a new
generation of motion-enabled product designs, with capabilities that have never before
been combined in a device of this size. These linear actuators are a superior alternative to
designing your own push/pull mechanisms.
The P16 actuators are complete, self-contained linear motion devices with position
feedback for sophisticated position control capabilities, or end of stroke limit switches for
simple two position automation. Several gear ratios are available to give you varied
speed/force configurations.
The parallel design makes the P16 significantly shorter than the same stroke length L16,
but the most attractive feature of this model is its high cycle life. Premium components in
this model include: large sealed stainless steel bearings, planetary gearbox, stainless steel
lead screw, and glass re-enforced nylon housing.
Basis of Operation
The P16 is designed to push or pull a load axially along its full stroke length. The speed of
travel is determined by the load applied (See the Load Curves). Actuator speed can be
reduced by lowering the drive voltage. When power is removed the actuator will hold its
position, unless the applied load exceeds the back drive force. Repeated stalling or stalling
for more than a few seconds will shorten the life of the actuator significantly. Actuators
should be tested in each specific application to determine their effective life under those
loading conditions and environment.
