PQ12 Series Linear Actuators The PQ12 series miniature linear actuators from Actuonix are a unique line of actuators designed for a new generation of motion‐enabled products. Never before seen in a device of this size, these tiny linear actuators are an excellent alternative to designing your own push/pull mechanisms. The PQ12 actuators are complete, self-contained linear motion devices with position feedback for sophisticated position control. Simply apply a DC voltage to extend the actuator, and reverse the polarity to retract it. Several gear ratios and voltage options are available to give you varied speed/force configurations. Lower gear reduction ratios are faster but push less force, and conversely. Option S – End of Stroke Limit Switches The S actuators have limit switches that turn off power when the actuator reaches within 1 mm of the end of stroke. The S model cannot be used with the LAC control board. Option P – Potentiometer Position Feedback The P actuators do not have a built-in controller but do provide analogue position feedback. Connect to an LAC board for easy interface with any of the following control signals: Analogue 0-5v or 4 mA to 20 mA, or digital 0-5v PWM, 1 ms to 2 ms Standard RC or USB.
