Linear Actuators Improve Performance and Life

Haydon Switch & Instrument, Inc. recently announced that its size 14 hybrid linear actuators are now available with an integrated connector. Offered alone or with a harness assembly, the connector is RoHS-compliant and features a positive latch for high connection integrity, according to the company’s press release. The connector is rated up to three amps and the mating connector can handle a range of wire gages from 22 to 28. The motor is an option for those that want to plug directly into a preexisting harness.

Available in three designs—captive, non-captive and external linear—these actuators come in resolutions ranging from 0.00012" per step to 0.00192" per step and deliver thrusts of up to 50 lbs. The size 14 actuators can be micro stepped for finer resolutions. Applications requiring precise positioning and rapid motion are best suited for this motor. Priced competitively, the product can be utilized for drop-in replacements to improve performance and life or for incorporation into your next project. Haydon can custom design the motor to meet specific application requirements.
