Hi all,

I am looking for a linear actuator with the below specs:

-24Vdc
-Approx. 350kg of force
-50% to 100% duty cycle

Does anyone know from where I can buy an actuator with these specs? I found similar products but the duty cycle was 25%, which is not good for my project.

Any help would be appreciated.

You could try looking for some more powerful one. I think that if you would run an actuator rated 50% duty cycle at half the maximum load it should be able to work continuously. But better ask the manufacturer first.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Actually 50% is ok for me. My problem is finding one which have that duty cycle and is not very expensive :)

Hi again,

Thanks for your replies. I am going to use the actuator for an industrial robotic arm application, which will by my collage end of year project.

@ atferrari , thats not -50%. The munus is used as a bullet. I want the duty cycle not to be less than 50% since the arm will be used repetitively. Preferably, the duty cycle will be 100%, but an actuator with that cycle would be very expensive.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
