Actuonix Linear Actuator Control Board

Overview

The Linear Actuator Control Board is a stand-alone, closed-loop control board specifically designed for Actuonix P-series micro linear actuators. The LAC simplifies designs by saving the development time, cost and processor overhead associated with direct motor control. As little as 1 digital or analog output is required for position control. Supported input signals include USB, voltage, current, RC servo and PWM. On-board adjustment of speed, sensitivity and stroke limits are available.

This linear actuator controller can be operated as both an interface board or as a stand alone controller with the addition of an external potentiometer and power supply. Each LAC board controls 1 linear actuator and will require an external power supply rated for the actuator.

The LAC is compatible with all P-series micro linear actuator on this site. A 6 volt or 12 volt power supply is required for operation.

Please note: the LAC board is only compatible with Actuonix P-series actuators. It will not work with our S, I or R actuators. Also note that if using the LAC for a Modified Power Wheels conversion, the LAC will not work with feedback actuators from Progressive Automations.
