Bullet 36 Cal. Series: Compact In-Line Actuator
Bullet 36 Cal. Series: Compact In-Line Actuator
Description
Series Classification: Bullet 36 Cal. Series (Slim In-Line) | Application: Architectural Robotics, Synchronized Lifting, & Tubular Frame Integration
The Bullet 36 Cal. Series is a masterclass in compact efficiency. Unlike traditional L-shape actuators where the motor protrudes from the side, the Bullet Series features an Axial In-Line Design. The motor, gearbox, and lead screw are aligned in a single, slender cylinder with a diameter of just 1.42" (36mm). This streamlined form factor allows for seamless integration into narrow chassis, tubular frames, and architectural columns where standard actuators simply cannot fit.
Engineered for precision, every unit includes a built-in Hall Effect Sensor. This optical feedback system is essential for applications requiring synchronized motion of multiple actuators or precise position memory. When paired with our control systems, it enables uneven load compensation and programmable stop points.
System Integration
For synchronized movement of 2 to 4 actuators, we recommend the FCB-1 Synchronous Control Board. This dedicated controller reads the Hall Effect feedback to ensure all units move in perfect lock-step, regardless of load distribution. See our Synchronization Tutorial for setup details.
