How many actuators can be connected in series?

This will be limited by the input torque requirements on the first worm shaft in the line. The torque on the worm shaft of the first actuator unit should not exceed 300% of its rated full load torque based on the 1800 and 9000 Series. (This does not include the 1820 and 9020 Series.) Torque can be reduced by using a double end gear motor at the center of the arrangement or a higher capacity actuator model can be used as the first unit in the line, provided the turns for 1″ raise are the same as the lower capacity units. If this is not possible, the actuators may be individually motorized and synchronized using electronic controls designed by the customer.
