Pololu Glideforce LACT6-1000BL Industrial-Duty Linear Actuator with Ball Screw Drive: 450kgf, 6" Stroke (4.8" Usable), 0.66"/s, 12V

The Glideforce Industrial-Duty linear actuators from Concentric International are robust 12V DC gearmotors equipped with either acme screw or ball screw drives. These actuators efficiently move a shaft along its length while maintaining its position even when unpowered. The acme screw versions can handle dynamic loads up to 250 kgf and static loads up to 450 kgf, while the ball screw versions accommodate dynamic loads up to 450 kgf and static loads up to 1360 kgf. Designed with an all-steel frame and an IP65-rated sealed case, they offer protection against dust and water. Integrated limit switches and diodes ensure safe operation, while an overload clutch guards against excessive dynamic loads.

The Glideforce actuators are versatile in application, suitable for use in industrial automation, robotics, and other demanding environments. Their ability to maintain position without power makes them ideal for applications requiring precise control. The optional feedback potentiometer allows for integration into systems where position feedback is crucial, enhancing the actuator's utility in automated control systems.

What sets these actuators apart is their durability and reliability. The robust construction using steel and aluminum, along with a stainless steel extension tube in the ball screw versions, ensures longevity even in harsh conditions. Their IP65 rating guarantees performance in environments with dust and moisture, making them a reliable choice for outdoor and industrial use.

Available in various stroke lengths, from 10 cm to 60 cm, these actuators cater to a wide range of needs. Heavy-duty mounting brackets and clevis options are available to facilitate secure installation. Whether for lifting, tilting, or pushing tasks, these actuators provide consistent performance and are a valuable component in any mechanical system requiring linear motion.
