The Actuonix L16 series of linear actuators are compact DC motors geared to push or pull loads along the stroke of the actuator. This actuator comes with a built-in potentiometer, allowing your application to monitor the actuator's position.

The 3572 linear actuator has a stroke length of 140mm and a 35:1 gearbox. It is able to move at a rate of 32 mm/s and can exert up to 50N of force at lower speeds.

Features

  • 140mm stroke length
  • Maximum speed 32mm per second
  • Maximum force 50N
  • Connects to a Phidgets DC motor controller
  • Built-in potentiometer for position control
  • Mounting hardware included

Connection

This actuator is compatible with Phidget motor controllers and analog inputs. For more details, see the Connection & Compatibility tab.

Warning

warning

This actuator does not have built-in limit switches, so you may damage the motor or gears if you run the actuator beyond its minimum or maximum stroke. We recommend using the actuator's built-in potentiometer in your program to ensure that the motor is shut off whenever the potentiometer voltage gets close to 0V or 5V. Have a look at the "Resources" tab for a link to a project that implements a control loop using the potentiometer value.

DC Motor Controllers

You'll need a motor controller to control the position of this actuator. In order to connect this actuator to a terminal block, you'll need to cut off the 5-pin connector and strip the wires. Then, to connect it to a controller, attach the wires as follows:

Function 3572DCC1001
Motor Power Red M+
Motor Ground Black M-
Functional

If you decide to use a motor controller with an analog input, you can connect the integrated potentiometer to the input. If you use a VINT-based motor controller, you can plug the potentiometer into another one of the VINT Hub's ports. If you decide to use a stand-alone motor controller, you'll need a device with an analog input to read the potentiometer.

Phidget Cables

To easily connect the internal potentiometer to an IO board we recommend you use a Phidget cable. Just cut off the ends of one of the Phidget cables and solder them to the potrntiometer cable as described in the table below. You can solder multiple cables together in order to make even longer Phidget cables, but you should be aware of the effects of having long wires in your system.
