Micro Inline Linear Actuator with Feedback (LP26)

The LP26 Mini Tube Linear Actuator utilizes a slim in-line motor design. Combined with a low current rating, this unit can be integrated into most low voltage control systems. The small outer-diameter shaft housing and actuator rod create an ideal unit for applications where space is limited. Industries such as automotive, robotics, and home automation benefit from the in-line motor design.The process of synchronizing multiple actuators is necessary when implementing two or more actuators to move at the same speed. This can be achieved with two forms of positional feedback– Hall Effect sensors and multiple turn potentiometers.Slight variance in actuator production results in a slight variance in actuator speed.  This can be corrected by outputting a variable voltage to the actuator to match two actuator speeds. The positional feedback is necessary in order to determine how much voltage is required to output to each actuator.
