Product Line Overview
Actuator Product Line Overview

The Warner Electric A-Track line of linear actuators offers the right load capacity, stroke length and
control for almost every application. The product line offers stroke lengths from 2-24 inches and load
ratings of 25 to 1300 pounds in AC or DC voltages with either acme or ball screws. The actuators
described here are available at your local Warner Electric distributor or directly through Warner
Electric at www.warnerelectric.com. For catalog information on these products, ask for
catalog P-1581-WE or use www.warnerelectric.com and find the A-Track icon.

Mounting Guidelines
Mounting Ensure that mounting pins are supported at both

ends. Cantilevered mounting is unacceptable.
Warner Electric linear actuators are quickly and
Failure to provide proper support will shorten
easily mounted by slipping pins through the
unit life.
holes at each end of the unit and into brackets
on the machine frame and load to be moved.
Cantilever
Proper diameter* solid pins provide maximum Yoke Mount Mount
holding capability. Use of a retaining ring or

cotter pin on each end will prevent the solid pin
from falling out of the mounting bracket. (It is
best to avoid roll pins and spring pins.)
Mounting pins must be parallel to each other as
shown in Figure 1. Pins which are not parallel
can cause excess vibration or binding. RIGHT WRONG
*A-Track 1 - 1/4 inch (.250) Figure 3
All Others - 1/2 inch (.500)
Do not attempt to mount A-Track actuators by
X the cover tube. The tube is not designed to
support the forces required for tube mounting.
The actuator mounting supports must be
capable of withstanding the load and torque
developed when the unit extends or retracts.
Restraining torque values are also provided with
X the details on each unit.
Figure 1 A-Track 1 Torque created 20 in. lbs.
Loads should act along the axis of the actuator. All others Torque created 100 in. lbs.
Off center loads may cause binding and lead to
premature unit failure. (See Figure 2)

Optional Limit Switch
How to set the adjustable Limit Switches

In order to adjust the limit switches on an A-Track linear
actuator, the actuator must be free to extend and
retract within its full range of motion.
Remove the cover over the limit switches by removing

the two screws that hold the cover to the body of the
actuator. Limit Switch
Cam Screw
The limit switch cams are stacked one over the other.
The top cam is for the extension distance and the
lower cam will control the retract position.
If it is desired to have the actuator

Troubleshooting
Unit will not extend or retract (power concerns)
Possible Problem Recommended Action
Unit Overloaded A. Inspection Method

Use voltmeter to confirm that power is reaching the motor lead wires.
B. Open/Blown Fuse
Confirm that the fuse installed is sized properly for the application. Current
draw information for each motor is included with the data for each model of
actuator.
C. Switch Failure
If power reaches the switch, but not the actuator, the switch has failed and
must be replaced.
D. Switch Wiring
Confirm that the wiring at the switch is accurate per the wiring diagram
provided with each model of actuator. Re-wire as needed.
E. Wiring Failure
Inspect for cut or broken wires between the power source and the switch and
between the switch and the actuator. Replace wires as needed.
Motor Failure Inspection

Use ohmmeter to check resistance of the coil.
Thermal Overload Open If the actuator has been run at a duty cycle greater than 25% or the unit has been
overloaded, the thermal overload in the motor may have opened to protect the
motor.
Allow sufficient time for the motor to cool which will allow the overload to reset.
Confirm the application to ensure that the unit is not overloaded and that it is not
running at greater than 25% duty cycle.
Insufficient Current Power may be reaching the motor, but with insufficient current to provide full load
moving capacity. Use an amp meter to confirm that sufficient current is reaching
the actuator. Use the load/current charts in the catalog to confirm current
requirements based on the unit loading.

Troubleshooting
Unit will not extend or retract (mechanical issues)

Power is reaching the motor, but the unit will not move the load.
Unit Overloaded Inspect to confirm that the load applied does not exceed the rating for the
actuator. Reduce load as needed, or replace actuator with a unit with sufficient
capacity for the load applied.
Unit Binding As noted on page 4 mounting pins must be parallel and mounting must avoid
side loading. Out-of-parallel pins or sideloading may cause unit binding that
will reduce unit capacity.
If the above checks do not reveal the source of the problem, remove the unit
from its mounting and run the unit under no load. Observe unit behavior and
make adjustments as necessary.
Unit will not extend/retract or stops in mid stroke
Overloading Clutch Slipping When a unit is overloaded in a sufficient amount, the clutch will slip. This will
generate a ratcheting noise within the unit.
Load has exceeded the capacity of the unit. Reduce the load to fall within
unit specifications; or, replace the actuator with a unit with sufficient capacity
to move the load.
If the unit has seen many slip occurrences, the clutch may be worn out.
Insufficient Current Insufficient current is reaching the unit to provide full load capability. Use
the load/current draw charts provided for each unit to confirm current
requirements and adjust power source accordingly.
Motor hums, but does not move the load AC actuators
Inspect to confirm that the load applied does not exceed the rating for the
actuator. Reduce load as needed, or replace actuator with a unit with
sufficient capacity for the load applied.
Unit stops at mid stroke or exceeds stroke length

Units with limit switches
The limit switches have been improperly set. Review the limit switch adjustment
process and correct so that the unit travel is set properly.
