LINACT-G2 Performance Variants
LINACT-G2 PERFORMANCE VARIANTS
The LINACT-G2 Linear Actuator is available in a wide range of performance configurations to suit different load, speed and stroke requirements. The table below shows the standard LINACT-G2 performance variants available across the range.
Linear Actuators South Africa keeps selected popular LINACT-G2 configurations in stock, including 300 mm, 400 mm and 410 mm stroke units. Other configurations are primarily built to specification according to the required load, speed, stroke, feedback and operating conditions.
| Code | Max Dynamic Load (N) | Max Self-Locking Force (N) | Reduction Ratio | Screw Pitch (mm) | Speed (mm/s) | Max Stroke Without Potentiometer (mm) | Max Stroke With Potentiometer (mm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No Load | Full Load | |||||||
| A | 12,000 | 15,000 | 43.1:1 | 4 | 6.0 | 4.0 | 1,000 | 176 |
| B | 11,000 | 12,000 | 31:1 | 4 | 8.0 | 5.2 | 1,000 | 176 |

| G | 6,500 | 8,000 | 43:1 | 12 | 18.5 | 11.0 | 1,000 | 528 |
| H | 4,500 | 5,500 | 31:1 | 12 | 25.0 | 13.0 | 1,000 | 528 |
| I | 3,200 | 4,000 | 21:1 | 12 | 37.0 | 23.0 | 1,000 | 528 |
The LINACT-G2 performance variants allow the actuator to be selected according to the application’s required balance of load and speed. Maximum Dynamic Load refers to the maximum force the LINACT-G2 can apply while moving, while Maximum Self-Locking Force refers to the static load the actuator can hold in position without power.
Higher-load LINACT-G2 configurations generally operate at lower speeds, while lower-load variants provide higher operating speeds. The correct LINACT-G2 configuration should therefore be selected according to the actual load, required speed, stroke length, feedback requirement and operating conditions.
