GSM Series

GSM Series Performance and Life Curves
The below speed vs. force curves represent approximate continuous thrust ratings at indicated linear
speed. Different types of servo amplifiers will offer varying motor torque and thus actuator thrust. These
values are at constant velocity and do not account for motor torque required for acceleration.
