Description

Series Classification: C-Series (Universal Rod) | Application: General Automation, HVAC Systems, & Manufacturing Conveyors, Home Automation, and many more.

The C-Series  Actuator is the backbone of the Firgelli lineup, engineered to be the most versatile and reliable solution for general-purpose automation. Building upon years of field testing, this series features a robust Aluminum Alloy Casing and heavy-duty rods designed to withstand harsh industrial environments while delivering smooth, quiet operation.

With a vast range of stroke lengths from 1 inch to 30 inches and three distinct force/speed profiles (45 lbs, 135 lbs, and 225 lbs), the C-Series allows engineers to standardize on a single form factor for multiple applications. Every unit includes built-in Limit Switches to automatically halt the motor at full extension and retraction, ensuring safety and preventing over-travel damage.

System Design & Control

Versatile Control: The C-Series utilizes a standard 2-wire DC interface, making it compatible with everything from simple Rocker Switches to complex PLC systems. For precise speed regulation, pair it with the FA-SC2 Speed Controller.

Back-Drive Note: Due to the efficient lead screw pitch, this actuator may back-drive under heavy static loads when power is cut. For vertical applications holding weight, we recommend using an SPDT relay as a Back-EMF brake. See our Back-Drive Tutorial for wiring details.

Compatible Accessories (Sold Separately): MB1-P Brackets (Ends) - MB6 Brackets (Body) - Wireless Remotes - FCB-2 Smart Controller - 12V Power Supplies
