60 kip / 267 kN servo electromechanical actuator for load-frame, structural, and materials testing applications. Features +/-150 mm stroke, 25 mm/s velocity, closed-loop PID force/position control, analog load-cell feedback, quadrature encoder position feedback, laser stroke-limit sensing, EasyTest CONTROL software, and a control-box architecture for laboratory integration.
The QL-Servo Electromechanic Actuator 60 Kips is a high-force electromechanical actuator package for laboratory force testing, structural component evaluation, load-frame modernization, and controlled static or dynamic test setups. The official 60 Kips Electro-Mechanic Actuator User Manual identifies a 267 kN / 60 kip force capacity, a +/-150 mm mechanical stroke, 25 mm/s velocity capability, closed-loop PID control, encoder position feedback, analog load-cell force feedback, laser stroke-limit sensing, and EasyTest CONTROL software.
This actuator is intended for engineers, research laboratories, universities, structural testing groups, materials testing teams, and industrial test-system integrators that need controlled force or displacement from an electromechanical actuator rather than a hydraulic actuator package.
High-force testing requires more than a motorized cylinder. The actuator package combines servo motor drive, gearbox, ball-screw transmission, rigid piston body, rod-end swivel, analog load cell, position sensing, a control box, and EasyTest CONTROL software so the actuator can be integrated into a load frame and operated in either position-control or force-control mode.

The manual describes position-control mode using encoder feedback and force-control mode using the analog load-cell output as PID feedback. The actuator can execute point-to-point motion, sinusoidal motion, or custom profiles through EasyTest CONTROL software.
The actuator is designed for long-duration static tests at low speeds up to 25 mm/s. For dynamic tests with varying speeds up to 25 mm/s, the manual recommends practical usage times of 1-2 minutes with at least a 2-minute break between successive dynamic tests to reduce heating and extend service life.
Force testing systems are potentially hazardous because high forces, rapid motion, stored energy, and specimen failure can create crush, flying-debris, electrical, rotating-machinery, and temperature hazards. The manual requires careful review of instructions, appropriate limits, emergency-stop use, protection of cables, correct specimen alignment, and project-specific safety risk assessment before operation.
The official manual lists a force capacity of 267 kN / 60 kips.
The manual lists +/-150 mm stroke, or 300 mm total. It also notes that the laser sensor is configured for a 275 mm working stroke for safe operation unless the configuration is changed.
Yes. The manual describes both position-control mode using encoder feedback and force-control mode using analog load-cell feedback through the PID control loop.
The servo drive requires 400-480 V AC, 3 phase, 50-60 Hz power. The control box requires 110 V AC, single phase, 60 Hz power.
The manual states that dynamic tests with varying speeds up to 25 mm/s can be handled, while recommending 1-2 minute usage periods for dynamic tests with at least a 2-minute break between successive tests.
Yes. QuakeLogic can review load-frame mounting, control requirements, specimen fixtures, safety expectations, software workflow, documentation, commissioning, and quote configuration before procurement.
QuakeLogic supports the actuator as part of a broader engineering workflow: application review, compatible load-frame or test-system selection, controls and software discussion, safety planning, quotation support, commissioning, training, and lifecycle service coordination. For laboratories and engineering teams, this helps turn the actuator from a standalone component into a practical testing solution.
