Homend DC12V 20-inch Stroke Linear Actuator Instruction Manual

Model: MO-017 | Brand: Homend

1. Koniec produktuview

The Homend DC12V 20-inch Stroke Linear Actuator (Model MO-017) is designed to provide controlled linear motion for various applications. This device converts rotational motion from a DC motor into linear push/pull motion, making it suitable for tasks requiring precise positioning and force. It features a robust aluminum alloy construction and is equipped with an internal limit switch for automatic stopping at stroke ends.

This actuator is commonly used in automotive, medical, and engineering industries, as well as for applications such as massage sofas, recliners, TV lifts, lifting tables, and electric window openers.

2. Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa

  • Nośność: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 225 lbs (900N). Exceeding this limit can cause damage to the actuator and potentially lead to injury.
  • Zasilanie: Use only a 12V DC power adapter. Connecting to an incorrect voltage can damage the motor.
  • Wodoodporność: The actuator is IP54 rated, meaning it is splash-proof and dustproof. However, it is not completely waterproof. Avoid submerging the unit or exposing it to heavy water spray. Water droplets are strictly prohibited from entering the interior of the motor, as this may result in motor burnout.
  • Połączenia elektryczne: Aby zapobiec zwarciom, należy upewnić się, że wszystkie połączenia elektryczne są solidne i właściwie zaizolowane.
  • Ruchome części: Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts during operation to prevent pinching or entanglement.
  • Instalacja: Ensure the actuator is securely mounted using the provided brackets to prevent accidental detachment during operation.

5. Konfiguracja i instalacja

Follow these steps for proper installation of your linear actuator.

5.1 Montaż siłownika

  1. Identify the desired mounting location for your application. Ensure the surface is stable and can support the actuator's weight and operational forces.
  2. Attach the two provided mounting brackets to the ends of the linear actuator using appropriate fasteners (not included).
  3. Securely fasten the actuator, with brackets attached, to your application structure. Ensure the actuator is aligned correctly for the intended linear motion.

5.2 Podłączenie elektryczne

The actuator operates on a 12V DC power supply. It has two wires for connection.

  1. Prepare to connect the two wires of the actuator to a 12-volt battery or a suitable 12V DC power supply.
  2. To make the actuator rozszerzyć: Connect the blue wire to the positive (+) terminal and the grey wire to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V DC power source.
  3. To make the actuator wycofać: Reverse the terminal connections. Connect the blue wire to the negative (-) terminal and the grey wire to the positive (+) terminal.
  4. For simplified operation, it is recommended to use a reverse polarity relay or switch (not included) with your 12V DC power supply. This allows for easy extension and retraction by pressing a switch, eliminating the need to manually reverse wire connections.

6. Instrukcja obsługi

Once properly installed and connected to a 12V DC power source, the actuator can be operated as follows:

  • Rozszerzenie: Apply 12V DC power with correct polarity (blue to positive, grey to negative) to extend the actuator rod.
  • Wycofanie: Reverse the polarity of the 12V DC power supply (blue to negative, grey to positive) to retract the actuator rod.
  • Automatyczne zatrzymanie: The actuator features a pre-installed internal limit switch. It will automatically stop when it reaches its fully extended or fully retracted position. The internal limit switch is not adjustable.
  • Pozycja trzymania: The actuator will hold its position when power is removed.

7. Konserwacja

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Homend linear actuator, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Czyszczenie: Wipe the exterior of the actuator with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Kontrola: Periodically inspect the actuator for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Check the mounting brackets for security.
  • Smarowanie: The internal components are pre-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication under normal operating conditions.
  • Ochrona środowiska: While IP54 rated, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions or environments with excessive moisture or dust to prevent premature wear.

8. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your linear actuator, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

ProblemMożliwa przyczynaRozwiązanie
Siłownik się nie poruszaBrak zasilania
