Product catalog summary
Overview: Joyce linear actuators are designed for lifting and precise positioning of loads up to 1500 pounds. They feature cast aluminum housings and are equipped with motors available in 120 VAC or 12 VDC. These actuators are ideal for environments protected from the elements and include a spring brake to maintain position when power is off. The maximum speed is approximately 50 inches per minute, depending on the load.
Mounting Options: The actuators can be mounted using either double clevis or trunnion styles. Standard travel lengths are 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 inches, with a restraining torque of 190 inch-pounds for the translating tube.
Specifications:
  • AC Models (LA155L & LA155P): Operate on 120 VAC, with options for a limit switch (LA155L) or a limit switch and potentiometer (LA155P). The weight is approximately 25 lbs plus 0.5 lbs per inch of travel.
  • DC Models (LA152L & LA152C): Operate on 12 VDC, with options for a limit switch (LA152L) or an overload clutch (LA152C). The weight is approximately 19 lbs plus 0.5 lbs per inch of travel.
Product Variants: Joyce/Dayton offers several designs including:
  • 120 VAC with limit switch
  • 120 VAC with limit switch and potentiometer
