Product Selection Differences for Alternating Current (AC) Linear Actuators
When selecting AC linear actuators, there are several key differences to consider:
Voltage and Frequency: AC linear actuators come in different voltage and frequency configurations. It is important to match the voltage and frequency of the actuator to the power supply available in your application.
Stroke Length: The stroke length of the linear actuator determines how far it can extend and retract. Make sure to select an actuator with a stroke length that meets the requirements of your application.
Load Capacity: Different AC linear actuators have varying load capacities. Consider the weight or force that the actuator needs to move and choose one with a load capacity that exceeds your application's requirements.
Speed and Force: AC linear actuators can vary in terms of speed and force capabilities. Faster actuators might have lower force output, and vice versa. Consider the speed and force requirements of your application when selecting an actuator.
Control Options: Some AC linear actuators come with built-in control options such as limit switches, feedback sensors, or integrated controllers. Consider your control needs and choose an actuator that offers the necessary control options.
Mounting and Installation: Check the mounting options and installation requirements of the AC linear actuator to ensure it can be easily integrated into your application.
Durability and Environmental Considerations: Consider the operating environment of the linear actuator, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to dust or water. Choose an actuator that is durable and rated for the environmental conditions in which it will operate.
By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the AC linear actuator that best meets the specific requirements of your application.
