If your requirements are more flexible or if you have limited time or funding for custom development, perhaps our standard Model 20 Linear Actuators will suit you better. These Model 20 actuators are rugged RTCA-DO 160E qualified and are typically used with strokes up to 5 inches, limit switches or hall effect sensors at end of travel, and load less than 250 lbs. We also have a variety of speeds, mounting options, electrical connecting options, electrical protection options, and annunciation options, please see the online catalog below for standard Model 20 actuator options.
