This is a 500mm adjustable stroke industrial linear actuator. It is equipped with two external magnetic switches that can slide freely, and by adjusting the position of these two magnetic switches, the linear actuator can be controlled to work within the set stroke length. For example, for a linear actuator with a stroke of 500mm, you can set it to move within a stroke range of 150mm to 400mm.
It is widely used in doors, windows, cellars, trapdoors, hatchways, solar tracking system, medical devices, agricultural machinery, vehicles, ships, elevator platforms, lifting tables, TV lifts, robots, cabinetries, massage sofas, electric beds, medical chairs, and other electrical equipment. It can open, close, push, pull, lift, and descend these devices.
It can also replace hydraulic and pneumatic products to save power consumption.

Stroke and Length (Model 0041516-3)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Stroke | 500mm |
| Retraction Length | 675mm (center distance between two mounting holes when the linear actuator is fully retracted) |
| Extension Length | 1175mm (center distance between two mounting holes when the linear actuator is fully extended) |
The linear actuator has two built-in limit switches, When the linear actuator is fully retracted or fully extended, it will stop automatically.
We can adjust the position of the built-in limit switches during production to meet customer-specified stroke and retraction lengths. For example, specify a stroke of 470mm and a retraction length of 715mm.
Note 1: The specified retraction length must be greater than the original length. For example, a specified retraction length of 715mm is greater than the original length of 675mm.
Note 2: The specified stroke must be less than the original stroke. For example, a specified stroke of 470mm is less than the original stroke of 500mm.

Note:
1. The above data is the maximum load capacity that can be obtained when the linear actuator runs in the vertical direction. If the weight of your equipment (such as a cellar door) is 100kg, and you want to use a linear actuator to open this door, you need to calculate the actual force acting on the linear actuator according to your installation method. This force is usually 2-5 times the weight of the cellar door. If you don't know how to calculate it, please contact us for help.
2. The above is the speed at no load, and the actual working speed will gradually slow down as the load increases. Full load speed is approximately 60-70% of No-load speed.
3. Different speeds correspond to different maximum loads. Please select the right speed according to the speed and maximum load you need.
4. Linear actuators are not recommended for continuous operation under maximum load, we recommend letting it work at about half of the maximum load to get a longer working life.
5. For linear actuators with a stroke greater than 500MM, you should not normally allow them to operate at their maximum stroke under heavy loads. If the actual stroke you want is 600MM, we recommend that you choose a linear actuator with a stroke of 700-800MM.
6. The maximum pull force of the linear actuator is slightly less than its maximum thrust force.
Wiring
You need to connect a manual switch or a remote switch to operate the linear actuator.
1) Connect two wires of DC power supply to two terminals <Power> of the manual switch or remote switch.
2) Connect two terminals <Power> of the magnetic switch controller to two terminals <Motor> of the manual switch or remote switch.
3) Connect two wires of linear actuator to two terminals <Motor> of the magnetic switch controller, and you can exchange these two wires to change the moving direction of linear actuator.
4) Connecting two wires of a magnetic switch to two terminals <Magnetic Switch 1> of the magnetic switch controller and connect two wires of another magnetic switch to two terminals <Magnetic Switch 2> of the magnetic switch controller.
Note: The two wires of the magnetic switch cannot be connected reversely, please follow the connection diagram below for specific wiring.
Operation
1.The operation by the manual switch:
Press and hold the button <UP> on the manual switch: linear actuator extends outward, when it moves to the position of a magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
Press and hold the button <DOWN> on the manual switch: linear actuator inward retracts, when it moves to the position of another magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
2. The operation by the remote switch:
Press and hold the button ▲ on the remote: linear actuator extends outward, when it moves to the position of a magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
Press and hold the button ▼ on the remote: linear actuator inward retracts, when it moves to the position of another magnetic switch, the linear actuator will automatically stop.
How to Adjust Magnetic Switch Position
You can loosen the fixing straps of the magnetic switch, then move the magnetic switch to a suitable position and tighten the fixing straps again.
Note: If the positions of the two magnetic switches are reversed, please swap their positions.
