Electric Actuators
According to R18, "Electrical solenoid actuators, no greater than 1 in. stroke and rated electrical input power no greater than 10 watts (W) continuous duty at 12 volts (VDC)" can be used. Are these restrictions only on electrical solenoid actuators? And, if so, does that mean that we can use linear actuators that do not meet these specifications, assuming they are compatible with approved (CIM) motors?

Thanks
