I am looking to use the servocity 560lb 12" stroke actuator in full servo mode but cannot find any suitable motor controller in your range that has a feedback input for the inbuilt actuator potentiometer.
A one board solution would be ideal.
As I see it the controller needs to be able to supply a continuous output of at least 25A for high reliability and have a potentiometer feedback input. The supply voltage is 12v nominal.
Please advise if you can supply such a unit and supply full technical details.

Hi John,
According to the manufacturer informations this actuator is rated at 3A no load.
The datasheet however give 3.4A no load and 26.4 full load numbers. But are you going to apply the full load on it ?
We do not have an all in one box that can do positioning for 26A but one can use a motor controller combined with a Arduino controller for example.
If you can work on smaller load, here are two interesting items:
Pololu Jrk 12A
Actuonix Linear Actuator Control Board
All the best,
