10mm Micro Linear Actuator

The 10 mm  micro linear actuator is for motions that cover 10 mm and no more: a lane stop, a gate flap, a slide gate, a latch pin. Two positions, nothing in between. Stroke beyond that point adds installed length and cost without adding function.

Three figures decide whether it fits. 200 N covers the gate weight and return spring - measure the resistance first, then compare. 300 N of static self-locking decides whether the gate is still in position after a power cut, an e-stop or a shift change; that hold comes from the gear train, not a brake, and draws no current. The 0.32 A cut-off protects the motor winding when the mechanism jams. End of travel is set by a protection board outside the tube, auto-stopping at both ends, so no external limit switch is needed in the mechanism.

A clean rod and an aligned load decide service life more than wall thickness does.

A lane stop on a parcel sorter does one thing: the flap moves 10 mm sideways from the release position to the stop position, holds the parcel out of the lane, then returns. Two positions, many cycles a shift.

• Travel. The flap moves 10 mm and stops nowhere in between. A longer stroke stretches installed length, and the inside of a sorter frame has no room for that.
• Force. Flap weight plus return spring is the whole resistance here, and 200 N covers it. When a parcel leans on the flap, 300 N of static self-locking holds it - no drift back to release after a power cut, no current spent holding.
• Speed. 10 mm at 3 mm/s takes about 3.3 seconds. The flap meets the parcel slowly, so there is no impact and no rebound, and noise stays under 60 dB.
• Mounting. A 16 mm round body clamps onto a frame tube anywhere along its length; no pocket to machine, and a stroke change does not move the clamp.
• Split of responsibility.

Parcel impact, flap weight and hinge play belong to the hinge and the mechanical stop. The rod delivers axial force only and has to sit on the flap's line of travel; off that line, the rod seal and front bearing fail first.

A lane stop is a high-cycle position, and 8,000–12,000 cycles is a rated-condition figure. Faster indexing and heavier dust move it down.

The same motion repeats across dry processing equipment, and the travel lands near 10 mm because the mechanism only needs two positions:

What these positions share: the mechanism's own rail or hinge guides the motion, the rod only supplies the last 10 mm, and position is held by self-locking rather than by powered hold.

Set the motion first, then the stroke. Five strokes share the body diameter; match the one whose travel clears the movement.

Production runs under ISO9001, and testing is full-load on every unit rather than a sample - nothing ships without being loaded to its rating. CE documents and the quality certificate are on the certification page; the equipment used for load and life testing is on the test equipment page, and the plant is described under about us. A 6-month limited warranty covers manufacturing and material defects.

Other strokes in the same body are listed on the tubular linear actuator series page. For other diameters and force classes see the full actuator range; for selection by machine type see applications.
