Description
Our L16-S line of miniature linear actuator is a big brother to the L12-S. Similar in profile, the L16 is slightly larger and offers a larger motor for heavier loads and faster speeds.
All of our S series actuators are easy to use, 2-wire devices. Apply voltage to the actuator and it will extend, and reversing the polarity will cause it to retract. There are several options for controlling an S series actuator including a rocker switch (latching or momentary), wireless controller or using an H-Bridge circuit. The L16-S can be used with RC (PWM) via a brushed reversible motor controller (such as a Sabertooth).
Weighing in at 56-84g, the L16-S is incredibly compact and well-suited to applications where weight is a consideration.
The L16’s versatility makes it ideal for a variety of applications. The L16 is the ideal micro linear actuator for medical devices, robotics, aviation, aerospace and commercial transport.
Our L16-S line includes unique models featuring:
- Stroke lengths of 50mm, 100mm and 140mm
- 12V input
The L16-S comes in 12V input only.
FEATURES
- Compact design
- 3 available stroke lengths
- Simple operation uses reversing polarity
