Housed in a tube, Linear Actuators produce linear movement by converting an electric motor's rotation into translation through a precision drivescrew and nut. |

 The 1000 Series Actuators These high-quality actuators directly replace micrometer heads in micro-motion application with a typical resolution of 0.05µm. With built-in magnetic A-QUAD-B position encoder for closed-loop positioning applications, the 1000-Series are available in 32 resolution/velocity variations, 4 travels, and 3 load categories. Its principal feature is a non-rotating thruster that pushes against an external return force. Formed in a 1"OD housing, this actuator is rugged enough to withstand an accidental drop on the floor. Quiet and sealed from external moisture and dust contamination, the 1000-series can perform directly exposed to harsh weather. The 1000-series can be operated from either your controller/servo or from our SER3000-series of Analog Velocity Servos. In its normal configuration, the 18"cable from this actuator is terminated in a MiniDIN8P connector. For vacuum environment, all lubricants are space-qualified. |

 The 1100 Series Actuators Although these actuators have a built-in A-QUAD-B position encoder for closed-loop operation, they are much shorter than the 1000-series because the rotating drivescrew is also the thruster. A typical length reduction 2.28" for the 0.5" travel. Two guiding slots on opposite sides of the housing prevent the motor from rotating as the drivescrew is rotated. Marked keys in these slots also serve as a coarse indicator of position. A shaped and polished Nose Button provides a precise contact point as well as a Reverse mechanical stop. The Forward mechanical stop is provided by an elastomer cushion inside the housing connected directly to the drivescrew. The keys in the guiding slots do not provide any ends-of-travel. In this way, the severe mechanical forces from running into the ends-of-travel are prevented from reaching the gearhead and motor. For pulling applications, a [-PPA] Push/Pull Adaptor option replaces the Nose Button The 1100-series can be operated from either your controller/servo or from our SER3000-series of Analog Velocity Servos.

 The 1200 Series Actuators Because these actuators do not have a built-in position encoder, they are shorter than the equivalent 1100-series. For example, the 0.5" travel is 0.8" shorter! Although 1200-series construction is similar to the 1100-series, the electrical connection is through an 18" two-conductor cable terminated in either a mono phone plug, MiniDIN8P connector, or stripped and tinned wires [-A option]. While the phone plug adapts to TS Product's line of controllers with built-in velocity servos, the MiniDIN8P interfaces to the SER3000-family of Analog Velocity Servos. Tinned leads are for connection to your controller/servo. Unless you incorporate an external A-QUAD-B position encoding device, this actuator series is only for open-loop applications. We typically find these actuators in systems where an operator has visual feedback to move into final position with a joystick. Two guiding slots on opposite sides of the housing prevent the motor from rotating as the drivescrew rotates. Marked keys in these slots also serve as a coarse indicator of position. A shaped and polished Nose Button provides a precise contact point as well as a Reverse mechanical stop. The Forward mechanical stop is an elastomer cushion inside the housing connected directly to the drivescrew. The tabs in the guiding slots do not provide any ends-of-travel. In this way, the gearhead and motor are protected from the severe mechanical forces created by running into the ends-of-travel. For pulling applications, a [-PPA] Push/Pull Adaptor option replaces the Nose Button. For vacuum environment, all lubricants are space-qualified. When controlling the 1200-series through either the 1200SC Speed Controller or 1200J Joystick Controller, you have full velocity and direction control with limit-of-travel sensing and backing-off the limit. | MAJOR FEATURES:
