ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATOR...IS THERE SUCH A ONE
ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATOR...IS THERE SUCH A ONE
(OP)
Anyone know of any linear actuators out there that are capable of a 50lb - 100lb full load with a stroke of 3" - 10" and a travel speed of 33" per second or greater (with applied full load)? The catch is that it has to be 12vdc with as small of an amp requirement as possible. Thank you for any input you can provide!

I don't think you will have much luck finding that speed. I just recently purchased 6 Linak LA12 actuators for a mining application. They make a nice 130mm stroke actuator in 12 or 24 VDC.
3 different models List price ~$160 US$
750 Newtons 14 mm/s
300 Newtons 27 mm/s
200 Newtons 40 mm/s

Hope this helps

Web-search & download "Smart Motion Cheat Sheet" in PDF format for the formulas.
The only other way I could see this happening is using the 12VDC motor to store up energy (springs, flywheel, air pressure) and then release it to move your load. But then the problem becomes a matter of how often the release is required, and can your system store energy that quickly.

100 lb @ 2.75 ft/sec = 275 lb-ft/sec = 0.5 HP
0.5 HP = 746/2 = 373 Watts
375 Watts/ 12 Volts = 31 Amps.
is this "Small Amps"?
