WARNER LINEAR

The B-Track K2 and K2x series are both electric linear actuators from Warner Linear. The K2x series generally offers higher rated load capacities, with models available up to 2,200 lbf, while the K2 series includes models rated at 750 lbf and 1,200 lbf. Both series are available in 12V DC, 24V DC, and 115V AC configurations, with gear ratios of 10:1 or 20:1 and bronze nut material. Stroke lengths vary by model. The K2x designation indicates a different internal configuration or updated design, but both series share similar mounting and operational characteristics. When selecting between them, consider the required load, stroke, and power supply. 3G Electric stocks multiple part numbers from both series.

Warner Linear electric actuators are available with 12V DC, 24V DC, and 115V AC power options. The DC models are typically used in mobile or low-voltage systems, while the 115V AC models are suited for fixed installations with AC power available. For example, the B-Track K2 model K2G20-12V-BR-12 operates on 12V DC, the K2XG20-24V-18 operates on 24V DC, and the K2G20-115V-BR-08 operates on 115V AC. The choice depends on the available power source and the control system. 3G Electric supplies actuators with these voltage options and can help identify the correct model for your application.

The Warner Linear B-Track K2x series includes models with rated loads up to 2,200 lbf. For example, the K2XG20-24V-18 and K2XG20-24V-04 are rated at 2,200 lbf with 18-inch and 4-inch strokes, respectively. Other K2x models are rated at 1,200 lbf and 1,500 lbf. The maximum load capacity depends on the specific model, gear ratio, and stroke. Higher gear ratios, such as 20:1, are typically used for higher load capacities. When selecting an actuator, ensure the rated load exceeds the actual load requirements with an appropriate safety factor. 3G Electric can provide specifications for the available K2x models.

Warner Linear actuators use either bronze or plastic nut materials. Bronze nuts are commonly used in higher-load models, such as the B-Track K2 and K2x series, where durability and load capacity are important. Plastic nuts are used in lighter-duty models, such as the M-Track 1 actuator with a 100 lbf rating. The nut material affects wear resistance, load capacity, and service life. Bronze nuts generally offer higher strength and better performance under heavy loads, while plastic nuts may be suitable for lower-load applications where weight or cost is a factor. The choice depends on the application requirements. 3G Electric stocks actuators with both nut materials.

Yes, Warner Linear electric actuators are used for lifting, positioning, and adjusting applications. Models such as the B-Track K2 and K2x series are rated for loads up to 2,200 lbf and can be used in lifting mechanisms where linear force is required. The actuator's rated load, stroke, and duty cycle should be matched to the lifting application. For example, the K2XG20-24V-18 provides a 2,200 lbf rated load and an 18-inch stroke, suitable for heavier lifting tasks. The 115V AC models, such as the K2G20-115V-BR-08, can be used where AC power is available. 3G Electric supplies these actuators for industrial lifting and positioning applications.

The Warner Linear M-Track 1 series includes models with various stroke lengths. The M1-D024-0100-A02-LN has a stroke of 1.969 inches and a rated load of 100 lbf. This series is designed for lighter-duty applications requiring precise linear motion. Other stroke lengths may be available in the M-Track 1 family. The M-Track 1 actuators operate on 24V DC and use a plastic nut material. They are suitable for industrial automation, material handling, and other applications where a compact actuator with a short stroke is needed. 3G Electric can provide information on available M-Track 1 models and their specifications.
