The FLTCON-2-24VDC is a 2-channel Hall effect control box that synchronizes travel between two identical linear actuators, lifting columns or table lifts. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many actuator control box solutions with hall effect feedback, such as:
- Easy Setup: Plug-n-play connectors of our hall effect type actuators and FLTCON control boxes allow for fast and simple wiring to your system.
- Control Type: The FLTCON control boxes come with an RT-11 remote that offers stylish designs, an LED display, and programmable features.
- Smart Safety Features: The FLTCON series of control boxes are designed with smart safety features such as overcurrent and overheat/duty cycle protection.
Key Benefits and Features of the FLTCON-2-24VDC
- Actuator Compatibility: The 24VDC output allows compatibility with a wide range of 24 VDC type hall effect actuators and columns.
- Input Voltage: Accepting 24VDC input voltage ensures the FLTCON-2-24VDC can be paired with 24VDC supplies such as the PA-BT1-24-2200 for mobility.
- Dual Hall Effect Control: 2 matching hall effect actuators can be simultaneously controlled to travel together synchronously.
- Current Draw: The FLTCON-2-24VDC control box output channels have a current draw rating of 10A each while the control box can handle 15A total.
- Programmable Settings: Our FLTCON control boxes allow for programmable features such as memory presets when paired with the included RT-11 programmable wired remote.

Read MoreDepending on your application, there are different specification requirements you should consider when determining the linear actuator you need. These requirements include force, stroke, speed and mounting dimensions. For detailed actuator information, you can refer to either the datasheet or the specification table located on the selected actuator's product page. You can also contact us to speak with one of our expert engineers.
Duty cycle is the fraction of the working period in which a linear actuator can remain active. You can calculate the duty cycle of a linear actuator by using the following equation: Duty cycle (%) = (Time the linear actuator is active) / (Time for one working period)
For example: With a 25% duty cycle, an actuator can run for 5 minutes continuously before needing to rest for 15 minutes before operating.
Stroke is the travel distance of the extending rod. To find the stroke length you require, measure your application from the fully retracted position to the fully extended position. The difference will equal the stroke length you require.
We always recommend purchasing an actuator with a higher force rating than what the application requires. If unsure of your force requirements, this article may help you calculate this: How to Calculate Force to Find the Right Linear Actuator
Yes, this is possible. However, it does depend on the units you are currently using. To synchronize actuators, they require a form of feedback such as a potentiometer or hall effect sensors. For more information, see below some of our key content regarding linear actuator synchronization.
The control box you choose should be able to provide sufficient voltage and current rating to your actuator. If you are unsure of the specifications, please contact us.
Alternatively, you can also find compatible control boxes on your selected linear actuator's product page.
Backdriving is when an actuator starts sliding down under load, when it is either overloaded or when the actuator has been damaged. Watch the video.
What Does Dynamic and Static Load Ratings Mean?Dynamic load rating is the amount of weight an actuator can pull or push safely when being powered. Static load rating is the amount of weight the actuator can hold or withstand without back driving when it is not being powered. For example, let's just say you have an actuator installed on a window and the static load rating of the actuator is 100lbs, it could experience backdriving when there is a high wind event, which means there will be more pressure exerted on the actuator which would exceed the 100lbs load rating of the actuator.
What Is Lateral Loading?Lateral loading is when the actuator experiences forces from the lateral plane. Actuators are not meant to handle lateral forces at all so if it experiences any lateral forces, it will likely damage the actuator or bend the rod. So it's advised never to use lateral forces and always make sure the actuator is fully in line or in sync with your application, so it does not take any load other than the axial load.
