Product dimension
Overall dimensions depend on configured stroke length. Dimension drawings show the contracted length, extended length, installation hole spacing and outline size of FD16 linear actuator. Please refer to attached technical drawing for detailed size data before mechanical design. Contact our team if you need dimension files.
Mounting points
The FD16 linear actuator adopts standard clevis mounting structure at both ends. Mounting hole size and hole spacing follow conventional design for convenient connection with customer brackets. If standard mounting size cannot fit your equipment, we support customized end fitting structures to match your installation structure.
Performance characteristic curves
1. Speed VS Load Curve (12V/24VDC)
The output speed presents a negative correlation with load – speed decreases gradually as the external load increases. The 24VDC model maintains higher speed than the 12VDC model under the same load, showing more stable speed attenuation under heavy load.
2. Current VS Load Curve (12VDC & 24VDC)
Working current rises linearly with the increase of load, showing a positive proportional relationship. The 12VDC actuator has a faster current growth rate under load, while the 24VDC model features lower operating current and more stable current rise under the same load condition, reflecting better load efficiency.

Customers say
We need a very special Actuator unlike ones sold anywhere. Sophie at Sanxing was incredibly helpful and able to understand what we were looking for and able to effectively get us on the right path to a solution. We got samples quickly for us to test quality and fit, Cads/drawings for our custom order, and excellent pricing! We could not be more pleased at this time.
OMG, this has been the best online customer service I have ever received. Maria Z. has been in contact with me every step of the way from start to delivery. The product was made to my exact specifications. It arrived on time in a properly pack box. No shipping damaged whatsoever. All items work perfectly. I am a raving fan and will use Yuyao Sanxing again. It was such an awesome sales experience.
I am highly satisfied with the quick and professional fulfilment of my order. After our initial dispair over the loss of functionality of the remote control for our mother’s favourite TV-chair, we are now extremely happy that the manufacturer of the original item has acted helpful and fast with the replacement. Shipment was – naturally – more expensive than the item itself, but it was well worth it.
FAQs
All actuators come with a 12 month warranty. User error and misuse will not be covered under warranty. Please contact with us to supply you the best solution.
Of course, sample orders are accept.
Please send us your inquiry, including the input voltage, load capacity, speed and stroke ( extending distance ) of the actuator, as well as the order quantity, it would be helpful to us to recommend you with a right actuator and offer a more accurate quotation.
Usually shipping by express, by air and by sea. Express is normally the most quickest but also most expensive way. It’s the usual way for samples. By sea is the best solution for big amounts. We could arrange the shipping for you, or you can use your own forwarder to arrange the shipping. Please contact us for further information.
Yes, of course we can. We are OEM supplier for years and professional to make. But you need to give us the authorization if it is necessary.
