Enhance Your Projects With T16 Linear Track Actuators
Discover the future of precise linear motion with Actuonix Motion Devices' cutting-edge T16 linear track actuators. Track actuators like the T16 series feature a unique mounting block that glides effortlessly along a track. This approach replaces the conventional extending rod, making T16 series track actuators a game-changer for projects.
The track design of a T16 linear track actuator significantly boosts design efficiency in many applications. It's a more convenient feature for projects like moving platforms or tool heads, offering flexibility and adaptability. The T16 series track actuator also stands out for its strong side-load tolerance. This key feature ensures optimal performance in scenarios where lateral forces are present, thereby elevating the actuator's reliability and extending its operational lifespan in challenging environments.

Find the Right T-16 For Your Project
Actuonix offers three distinct T16 linear track actuator models: the T16 P-Series, S-Series and R-Series, each tailored for specific applications and control requirements.
T16 P-Series
T16 P-series linear track actuators stand out for their versatility and adaptability in control options. While these actuators do not come with an integrated controller, they are equipped with a feature that provides an analog position feedback signal. This signal can be integrated with an external controller for precise motion control. The distinct advantage of the "P" series lies in its compatibility with the Linear Actuator Control Board (LAC). This compatibility offers various control methods, including USB, through our intuitive Configuration Utility Software, 0-5V, 4-20mA, RC Servo or PWM.
Furthermore, the LAC board enhances the functionality of T16 P-series actuators by allowing on-board adjustments. Users can easily modify settings such as speed, end limits and sensitivity, tailoring performance to suit specific project requirements.
T16 S-Series
T16 S-series linear track actuators are engineered for straightforward and efficient operation. Motion back and forth is achieved simply by switching the polarity on the actuator's two leads.
A key safety feature of this series is the integration of end-of-stroke limit switches. These switches are designed to automatically shut down the unit if it reaches its end stop, thereby preventing damage or overextension. The versatility of the T16 S-series is further enhanced by its compatibility with various control methods. T16 S-series actuators can be operated using a DPDT switch, a relay or a brushed DC motor controller, offering flexibility in integrating different control systems.
T16 R-Series
Enhance the functionality of your T16-P actuator by adding an Ext-R adapter, transforming it into an RC-compatible unit. This convenient adapter package comes complete with an RC extension cable, enabling effortless plug-and-play connection directly to your receiver. It's designed for simplicity and ease of use, ensuring that each T16-P actuator can be quickly and efficiently adapted for RC operation. This addition opens up new possibilities for integrating T16-P actuators into a broader range of remote-controlled applications.
Note: One Ext-R adapter is necessary for each actuator to achieve compatibility.
