I used a linear actuator on a project and I'm getting odd results. I'm questioning if the actuator is actually 24VDC, not 12VDC like I was told. Here's why...
- Per mfg spec sheet it should only draw 4 amps at max load but it is blowing 7.5 amp fuses when it encounters high load.
- The actuator doesn't seem nearly as strong as I expected. Max push force is supposed to be 2000N (450lbs). I don't really have the means to test 450 lbs.
1) How do I test this without damaging the actuator? (I don't have any 24V power supplies, only 12v here)
2) What happens when you run a 24VDC motor with a 12VDC power supply and vice versa?
Any other thoughts or info is appreciated. Thank you
