Miniature Linear Motion Series · T16
Actuonix's 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 track actuators are a superior alternative to designing your own
push/pull mechanisms.
The T16 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 track design makes the T16 significantly shorter than the same stroke length P16, since
instead of an extending shaft, a sliding mount is provided. The sliding mount also
significantly increases the maximum side load specification.
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 T16 is designed to push or pull a load along its full stroke length. The speed of travel is
determined by the load and mount angle (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.
