RS PRO Electrical Linear Actuator 400mm, 3000N, 24V DC, 11mm/s, IP42, 177-4520

The RS PRO 177-4520 is an electrical linear actuator engineered for demanding industrial automation and robotics applications that require exceptional force, extended reach, and reliable operation. With a robust maximum push load of 3000N and a generous 400mm stroke length, this actuator is designed to perform precise linear movement tasks, such as positioning, pressing, or adjusting heavy mechanisms with accuracy.

Powered by a 24V DC input, the actuator integrates easily into control systems common in automated manufacturing lines, robotics, and material handling installations. Its rod-style, compact profile is ideal for installation where space is limited, offering significant mechanical performance without the need for bulky gears or complex hydraulic setups. The high-performance motor achieves a maximum speed of 11mm/s in no-load conditions, with a rated speed of 8.2mm/s at full load, balancing efficiency and force for dynamic applications.

The actuator is constructed with an IP42-rated enclosure, safeguarding internal components from solid contaminants and vertically falling drops of water, making it suitable for clean industrial environments and some light-duty outdoor applications. The low-noise operation ensures that the actuator does not exceed common safety thresholds for sound exposure, making it conducive to environments prioritizing operator health and safe working conditions.

RS PRO's actuator supports both push and pull functions, with a pull load capacity of 2500N and push capacity of 3000N, making it versatile for varied motion control scenarios. This miniature electric actuator is particularly suited for precision positioning, automated assembly, conveyor tracking, or laboratory automation equipment where accurate, repeatable, end-to-end positioning is critical.

No hydraulic connections or fluid maintenance are required, streamlining installation and long-term reliability. Typical industrial use cases include robotic control, test rigs, pick-and-place machines, small automation presses, and smart factory installations. Its straightforward electrical connectivity and robust build ensure long service life even in repetitive-duty cycles.

Engineered for precision, force, and dependability, the RS PRO 177-4520 electrical linear actuator provides a cost-effective automation solution for industrial, laboratory, and light manufacturing processes.
