mightyZAP, the micro linear servo actuating solution for the era of the 4th industrial revolution
Mini Linear Servo Actuator
Actuator Lineup Overview
17Lf Servo Series
The new mightyZAP servo series with a 17mm diameter motor which improve durability. Provide faster speed under the same rated load specification comparing to the 12Lf series. Overall functionality is almost same as the 12Lf series, but only RS-485 communication and MODBUS RTU protocol are provided, and user expandability has been improved with the expansion I/O port.
12Lf Servo Series
The 2nd Generation of mightyZAP actuators supporting position, current and speed control. Both MODBUS RTU & IR Open Protocols available
D7/D12 Servo Series
The 1st generation of mightyZAP actuator equipped with reasonable cost Cored DC motor and supporting precise position control / position feedback through communication without speed and current control features. IR Open protocol provided.
12L/12D
Limit Switch Series
Simple linear operation via built-in limit switches without drive circuit & potentiometer.
Lineup Schematic / Selection Tips
Select desired product lineup based on the lineup comparison chart / schematic and main feature of each lineup.
After selecting the product lineup according to “Control feature”, select a specific model considering the required stroke, force, speed, etc on the concerned product lineup page.

Optional Accessories
Board
Here are dedicated boards for 12Lf, L12, D12, D7 series servo actuators.
The mightyZAP linear servo actuator operates by receiving communication commands from various customer’s controllers
(PC, PLC, Embedded Board, etc.).
If you do not have a controller, you can control actuator by our several different control boards.
All boards have built-in basic programs for immediate use, and also they can be programmed by users.
The IR-USB02 is not a controller, but a USB to RS-485 / TTL converter that can be used with a PC.
It is highly recommended to purchase this board when your first purchase of actuators as you can set various parameters, test the motion, update the firmware, and do a simple diagnosis for the actuator on our dedicated Manager software.
Mounting Solution
See various mounting options for the mightyZAP.
Our actuator can be installed using basic accessories – the hinge and rod-end tip,
but we provide more various mounting options for various customer’s requirements.
They are common for 12Lf, L12, D12, D7 servo actuators, 12Lb Feedback actuators, 12L/12D limit switch actuator.
Wire
All servo actuators (12Lf, L12, D12, D7 series) will be delivered along with basic 200mm wire harness and we also provide more extension wire options for customer’s needs.
Extension Wire | 3Pin TTL/PWM (PT) | Molex Connector (50-37-5033)
* It is an extension wire applicable to the facility, not a 200mm wire included in the standard accessory.
Extension Wire | 4Pin RS-485 (F) | Molex Connector (51065-0400)
* It is an extension wire applicable to the facility, not a 200mm wire included in the standard accessory.
Basic Connector Wire
* 1pc of this wire is already included in the actuator package.
