Looking for small linear actuator for fast short move
Looking for small linear actuator for fast short move
(OP)
I have an application for a small linear actuator and could use some help finding the right product - please let me know if you have any recommendations:
Move (at max stroke): index up 2", short dwell, index down 2"
Total time for fastest move: 80mS
Total weight being moved: 1-2 pounds
Stroke is variable between about .75" and 2"
Move time is variable between 80mS and about 250mS
This makes my max speed up to 50 in/sec!
I will probably have an Allen Bradley Controllogix for other axes. Am looking for some small actuator (linear motor, rotary motor with linear conversion, etc.) that will either work directly with the controllogix system or be able to communicate via Analog, DeviceNet, Ethernet, etc.
Any leads would be appreciated.

It is very easy to use, requiring just two outputs from A PLC to control 2 positions at a fixed velocity.

They are easy to use and very reliable. We have been using them for years with great sucess. Good Luck.

Look at the RoboCylinder from AIA http://www.intelligentactuator.com/
these are great and will satisfy the above requirements.
