Caution

Use under rated load conditions as much as possible. When applying max applicable load (2x rated load), set Goal current to 1600(1.6A) and reduce Duty cycle to 20% or less.

Tip

Self-Lock means the actuator can hold its position by mechanical friction without motor power.

3. Reference Data

3.1 Voltage Vs Speed

Graph of speed change at no load according to input voltage. This data includes error and is for reference only.

voltageVSspeed

Note

Voltage Vs Speed data was tested at Goal Current 800. This data includes about +/-15% error.

3.2 Voltage Vs Stall Force

Stall Force measured at 800mA according to input voltage. This data includes error and is for reference only.

voltageVSstallforce

Note

Voltage Vs Stall Force data was tested at Goal Current 1600. Each Force value has an error of +/- 15%.

Caution

Stall force is for reference only. To prevent product damage, use according to rated load in actual application.

3.3 Goal Speed Vs Speed

Shows no load speed change according to Goal Speed Parameter value at Goal Current 800. At less than rated load, the time to reach maximum speed varies depending on the load.

goalspeedVSspeed

Note

Goal Speed Vs Speed data was tested at Goal Current 800.

3.4 Goal Current vs Stall Force

Shows mightyZAP's Stall Force for each Goal Current value. Stall Force was measured at minimum speed to reflect only current-based force.

goalcurrentVSstallforce

TIP

This data shows motor force. It is recommended to set Goal current to 3x the actual load. The smaller the difference between actual load and motor force, the slower the speed. If equal, the motor will not move.

Caution

Each Stall Force value has an error of +/- 15%. Red-marked areas have large error due to internal load and heat, so use for reference only. If continuous load causes current over 1A, the current value will gradually drop and stabilize at 1A.

Double load setting

mightyZAP can be used up to 2x load. For 2x load, set Duty Rate to 20% or less. **ex>

3.5 Goal Current vs Speed at Rated Load

Shows mightyZAP's speed change for each Goal Current value at rated load.

goalcurrentVSspeed

TIP

Goal Current Vs Speed data was measured at rated load.

Caution

Speed data has about +/-10% error. Red-marked areas are where Stall Force and rated load are similar, so mightyZAP may not move. Use for reference only.
