The Glideforce GF01 series is a set of micro-sized linear actuators from Concentric International weighing between 30 g and 60 g, depending on the stroke length. They consist of small 12V DC gearmotors that drive a lead screw to move a shaft back and forth, turning the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion of the shaft. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered and subjected to static loads up to 4 kgf [9 lb or 40 N]. The actuators have an aluminum extension tube and inner tube with a plastic case and end-cap, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP66).
The GF01 series of actuators are available either with an integrated feedback potentiometer that lets you determine where the actuator is in its stroke, which can be used for closed-loop position control, or with two preset limit switches that safely stop the motor at either end of its range while still allowing it to reverse direction if the supplied voltage is reversed.
These actuators are available in several gear ratios and a variety of stroke lengths, from 10 mm to 100 mm. The comparison table below shows all of the micro-sized linear actuators we carry:
