MC-02 Linear Actuator Position Controller System

Take Precise Control of Your Linear Actuator
Upgrade your automation with the MC-02 Position Controller, a compact, feature-rich system for reliable, repeatable position control using potentiometer or Hall sensor feedback. Control up to 6A actuators out of the box, with optional relay board upgrades supporting up to 40A. Set and recall up to 9 positions with onboard buttons, expansion board, or touchscreen. Expand with available relay and position indicator boards for demanding applications.

Key Features

• Universal Feedback Support: Compatible with linear actuators using Hall sensor or potentiometer feedback.

• Multi-Position Memory: Store up to 9 user-defined positions; access via main board, expansion board, screw terminals, or touchscreen.

• Flexible Control: Operate manually or with presets using built-in or custom buttons, plus touchscreen support.

• Current Handling:

  • 6A continuous with included motor driver

  • 8A with optional relay board

  • 30–40A with additional relays and relay board (for high-current actuators)

• Onboard Configuration: Adjust travel speed, approach speed, and accuracy with physical trim dials (trimpots).

• Algorithm Tuning: Fine-tune control responsiveness (P in PID control) via the touchscreen display.

• Travel Limits: Optionally set and enforce upper/lower movement limits to protect equipment.

• Accurate Position Display: View position as raw data or calibrated units (mm, cm, inch) for linear applications.

• Wide Voltage Range: Works on 12–24V DC (DC-DC converter required above 12V—support available).

• Optional Add-Ons:

  • Relay Board: For increased current capacity, or custom pneumatic/hydraulic system integration (not included).

  • Position Indicator Board: Illuminate LEDs or button rings at each saved position for instant feedback (not included).

• Simple Integration: Screw terminal connections for easy use with your own switches/buttons.

Precision and Power for Your Actuator Control Needs

The MC-02 Linear Actuator Position Controller empowers engineers, designers, and advanced Makers with precise, repeatable control over linear actuator movement.

The MC-02 supports up to 6A continuous current with the included onboard motor driver, enough for most 12/24V DC actuators.

For even greater power, add the optional relay board to handle up to 8A directly, or expand further to 30–40A using high-capacity relays with the relay board, making the MC-02 suitable for heavy-duty industrial actuators.

Versatile Feedback and Position Memory
Compatible with both potentiometer and Hall effect feedback, the MC-02 tracks actuator position accurately across a wide range of models.

Save and recall up to nine custom positions, one on the main board and eight on the expansion board, using built-in buttons, external switches, or the optional touchscreen.

Flexible Manual and Automated Operation
Switch between manual control and automated presets on the fly. Connect your own pushbuttons or switches via screw terminals, and configure advanced options with the touchscreen interface. Set travel speed, approach speed, and accuracy on the fly using convenient trimpots.

Safety and Customization Options
Set lower and upper travel limits to protect your equipment. Read position as raw sensor data or in real-world units (mm, cm, inch), custom calibration available on request. Expand your installation with optional accessories:

• Relay Board: For high-current actuator motors (up to 8A with included relays, or 30–40A with external relays), or for interfacing with pneumatic/hydraulic systems.

• Position Indicator Board: Provide at-a-glance LED or ring-light indication for each saved position.

Reliable Power and Simple Installation
The MC-02 runs on 12–24V DC (DC-DC converter required above 12V, support available). All connections are made via screw terminals for straightforward, tool-friendly integration; whether you’re upgrading existing equipment or building new.
