The KD-ACT series of actuators are programmable devices that can be used in a variety of applications. When used with our electronic controller, this actuator can be commanded to any desired rotational position: 0 to 180 degrees. Onboard drive electronics perform automatic position verification and error correction. Each actuator is fitted with a removable nylon control arm. For linear actuation, use with a wire linkage (not included). Includes threaded standoffs for convenient mounting. The rotating control arm has locator holes at pre-set distances which accept a wire linkage. The locator holes allow the arm's effective length to be easily adjusted. (Note that effective lengh also effects the resulting applied force. See the force table for details.) The smart actuator is available in larger sizes for increased torque. How much force can the ACT10 deliver? It all depends on the effective length of the control arm as shown in the table below. When using a wire linkage, you can obtain more force by simply adjusting the linkage to a closer locater hole in the control arm, thereby shortening the effective length.
Given the table values above, you can see that an effective arm length of 1 cm yields a max. force of 0.8kg (1.8lb). Adjusting the linkage for a longer effective length yields a lower maximum force, while adjusting for a shorter length translates to a higher maximum force. You
might be wondering how much arm travel the actuator can produce.
For rotary applications, the arm can rotate up to 180 degrees.
For
linear applications, the maximum distance will depend on the effective
length of the control arm as described previously. The following
table defines maximum linear arm travel distances for several effective
arm lengths. These linear distances define how much linear travel
distance can be produced by the actuator when using a wire linkage.
Electronic Controller Actuators requires a special pulse
width modulated (PWM) control signal to operate. The system
includes a digital electronic controller that automatically generates
these
signals. Measuring
only 2.5" x 3.75", the controller accepts an activation trigger that
commands the actuator to a pre-determined rotational
position.
 Servo Actuator Controller

The servo actuator includes our stock controller or a customized controller to meet your requirements. Our stock controller accepts a standard switch input. When switch contacts are closed, the actuator rotates 90/180 degrees. When deactivated, the actuator returns to the starting point. Here is a summary of controller features:
