Duty cycle of linear actuators

Robotics and electronics discussion Mechanical design and actuators

What is the duty cycle of your linear actuators? I couldn’t find any technical data on your site that specified duty cycle, and the only thread covering the topic went unanswered link here

I’m considering using one of your linear actuators in place of a servo on a LARGE rc car for the steering. I’d ideally like to be able to drive this thing around for a couple hours at a time while constantly steering when needed.

thanks.

Hello, 87jeepwrangler.

I expect that the linear actuators will work fine for your application. We haven’t heard of any duty cycle limitations, but you could ask the manufacturer, Iowa Export-Import. Let us know what they say.
