Specification Charts and Notes

  1. When powering multiple units from an unregulated power supply such as our PS12V, the voltage and thus the available thrust will be reduced. To achieve the thrust specified above, each unit should have its own power supply.
  2. The suffix "S" designates a short unit. Manual control and LED indicators have been sacrificed on these units in favour of reduced length. All other specifications are identical to the standard unit.
  3. T-LA actuators don't require hold current to maintain their position.
  4. Thrust is a function of speed. The values given are typical maximums. See performance curves below for more details.
  5. The T-LA is more delicate and has a limited lifetime compared to the T-NA08. See the image below for a lifetime vs thrust comparison.

Note that the failure mode of T-LA devices is grease contamination by wear particles which effectively clog the lead nut, although the leadscrew and leadnut remain in healthy condition. Extending the leadscrew, cleaning it, and regreasing it with a silicon based grease effectively solves the problem; however, this may not be feasible in all applications. For more detailed information please consult the Instruction Manual and/or the Technical Notes.
