Disclaimer

Zaber’s products are not intended for use in any critical medical, aviation, or military applications or situations where a product's use or failure could cause personal injury, death, or damage to property. Zaber disclaims any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. The user of this product agrees to Zaber's general terms and conditions of sale.

Operation

The LAR-E01T3 electric cylinders are designed to be controlled with any of Zaber's X-Series or A-Series Stepper Motor Controllers. Zaber's controllers and peripherals are designed for ease of use when used together. Optimal settings for each peripheral (such as the default current, speed, acceleration, and limit settings) can be loaded by setting the peripheralid (T:66) on the controller. The peripheral ID is listed as the ID on the peripheral's label. A list of IDs is also available on the ID Mapping page. For more information on device operation, refer to the controller's user manual.

Alternate Controllers

The actuators may be controlled by any 2-phase stepper motor controller with home sensor input. Warning: Operating the actuator without correctly wiring up the home sensor can cause permanent damage to the sensor. We do not recommend using your own controller unless you are familiar with how to control a stepper motor with a hall sensor limit switch. The following information is provided for reference only. Damage to the actuator or hall sensor due to incorrect wiring is not covered by warranty.

Motor

The LAR-E electric cylinder uses a size 23 stepper motor.

  • 3 A / Phase
  • 1 Ω / phase
  • 1.6 mH / phase
