Setup Instructions
Proper setup is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your linear actuator. Please follow these steps carefully.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the linear actuator, power supply, speed controller, and connecting wires.
- Identify Components: Familiarize yourself with each part. The linear actuator has a motor and a reciprocating shaft. The speed controller has input and output terminals, and a knob for adjustment. The switching power supply has terminals for AC input (L, N, GND) and DC output (+V, -V, ADJ).
- Connect Power Supply: Connect the AC power cord to the "L" (Live) and "N" (Neutral) terminals on the switching power supply. Ensure the ground wire is connected to the "GND" terminal. Caution: Ensure power is disconnected before making any connections.
- Connect Speed Controller to Power Supply: Connect the output of the switching power supply (+V and -V) to the input terminals of the speed controller. Observe polarity: positive to positive, negative to negative.
- Connect Actuator to Speed Controller: Connect the two wires from the linear actuator motor to the output terminals of the speed controller. The motor's direction can be reversed by swapping these two wires.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts or short circuits.

Operating Instructions
Once the actuator is properly set up, you can begin operation.
- Power On: Connect the switching power supply to a suitable AC power source. The power supply indicator light should illuminate.
- Adjust Speed: Use the knob on the speed controller to adjust the reciprocating speed of the linear actuator. Turning the knob clockwise typically increases the speed, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it.
- Observe Operation: Monitor the linear actuator's movement. The shaft will move back and forth in a reciprocating motion.
- Adjust Stroke (if applicable): The stroke length of this model is fixed at 70mm. For models with adjustable stroke, refer to specific instructions for adjusting the eccentric wheel or linkage mechanism.
- Power Off: Disconnect the power supply from the AC source when not in use.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your linear actuator.
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe down the exterior of the actuator and power supply to prevent dust and debris buildup.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts of the linear shaft and bearings to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the actuator in a dry, clean environment away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your linear actuator, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Actuator does not move. | No power, loose connections, faulty power supply/controller. | Check power source, ensure all connections are secure. Test power supply output voltage. |
| Motor runs but shaft does not reciprocate. | Mechanical obstruction, damaged linkage, motor not properly engaged. | Inspect for obstructions. Check the linkage mechanism for damage or misalignment. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Lack of lubrication, loose components, worn bearings. | Apply lubricant to moving parts. Check and tighten all screws. If noise persists, inspect bearings for wear. |
| Inconsistent speed. | Fluctuating power supply, faulty speed controller. | Ensure stable power input. Test or replace the speed controller. |
