Kar-Tech’s 12/24V CAN-enabled Linear Actuator converts manual hydraulic controls into reliable electronic systems. The actuator is compatible with 12- and 24-volt applications and delivers smooth, accurate control of manual hydraulic valves and throttle systems without solenoids or electric-over-hydraulic valve blocks.
The actuator delivers up to 90 pounds of force over a 3-inch stroke while providing precise position control accurate to 0.01 inch. Intelligent CANbus communication over J1939 ensures responsive operation, while its rugged construction stands up to vibration, moisture and harsh weather.
The 12/24V Linear Actuator eliminates wear-prone potentiometers by utilizing a contactless magnetic position sensor. Fully encapsulated electronics, an internal safety clutch and onboard processing protect the actuator and machine for years of dependable service.
The 12/24V Linear Actuator provides a simple, reliable way to retrofit electronic control onto manual hydraulic equipment without replacing existing valve systems. Its intelligent onboard electronics, contactless sensing technology and rugged construction deliver precise control and long service life in the toughest operating conditions.
