Firgelli actuator

The L12, is an axial design that utilizes a powerful PMDC motor and a rectangular cross section for increased strength. But by far the most attractive feature of this actuator is the broad spectrum of configurations available: Standard options include: four stroke lengths, three force/speed combinations(gear ratios), four interface options including RC servo, Industrial servo(4-20mA or 0-5V control), linear position feedback, and end of stroke limit switches. Stroke: 10mm (-S only), 30mm, 50mm, 100mm   Maximum Force: 12-45N No-Load Speed: 23-5mm/s Voltage: 6V, or 12V (-R option is 6v only) Control Options: Limits Switches(-S), Linear Feedback(-P), RC Servo(-R), Integrated Controller(-I)

The L16, is a scaled up version of the L12 with a larger motor for faster speeds and heavier loads. Standard options include: three stroke lengths, three force/speed combinations(gear ratios), Choice of linear position feedback or end of stroke limit switches. Stroke: 50mm, 100mm or 140mm   Maximum Force: 50-175N No-Load Speed: 32-8mm/s Voltage: 12VDC Control Options: Limits Switches(-S), Linear Feedback(-P)   Use the L16-P as linear servo by purchasing an LAC board.

For use with your NXT Brick you will need a standard NXT® connection cable to connect it in place of one of the Mindstorm® Servos, and you will need to download the Firgelli L12-NXT Mindstorms® Block. The L12-NXT will push 25N, and will move at 12mm/s unloaded For manual use with Lego® Power Functions you will require the Cable-NXT-PF available on this site. For manual use with older Technic® style battery packs you will require the Cable-NXT-Technic available on this site. Danny Benedettelli has created a library of NXC drivers for the L12-NXT actuators. Download the L12-NXT NXC Library if you wish to program in NXC. Xander Soldaat has created a RobotC driver for the L12-NXT actuators. Download the RobotC Library v1.3 here. Please note: The Lego Group does not endorse these products.

Control Board for Linear Actuators with position feedback. Turns your Linear Actuator into a Linear Servo with position control. Added features include USB connectivity, adjustable sensitivity, positionable stroke limits, and variable speed. Supports actuators with the -P control option. The -P option is available in our L12, L16, and PQ12 Series. Supports 6V, 12V, and 24V models. The controller has a peak output of 4A making it suitable for some of Firgelli Auto's larger actuators. Speed, Extend and Retract Limit Positions, Control Constants, and sensitivity are just a few of the customisable values. The LAC also contains all of the familiar input options, RC, I, V, making the switch between an LAC and an intergrated controller as simple as swapping the wires. DLL files are provided as well as documentation to allow the LAC to be controlled by a wide range of windows programming languages. An example of LABVIEW control is provided.  

Ideal for applications requiring precise positioning and compact size, Firgelli's PQ series of micro linear actuators are available with end of stroke limit switches or with linear feedback along the full length of stroke. A complete closed loop system can be realized with the addition of an LAC board. We can also customize our standard PQ-12 to meet the requirements of your specific application. Stroke: 20mm Maximum Force: 9-35N No-Load Speed: 25-9mm/s Weight: 15 grams Voltage: 6V, or 12V Control Options: Limit Switches(-S), Linear Feedback(-P)
