INTRODUCTION

Danaher has many years of experience designing and manufacturing linear actuators for a wide variety of applica-
tions on combines, school buses, industrial sweepers, vans for the handicapped, and other mobile applications. 
The Danaher linear actuator you have purchased is a well designed, high quality unit which will provide consistent, 
maintenance-free service throughout its life. When the Electrak 10 is mated with an MCS-2000 series control, it will 
provide controlled linear force for applications  which require moving, positioning, adjusting, or opening and closing 
on in-plant or mobile applications.

This manual provides complete information needed to install and troubleshoot Danaher D12-05B5, D12-20B5, D24-
05B5 and D24-20B5 DC linear actuators. All of these products are easy to apply and require no maintenance.

Please follow the instructions provided in this manual carefully to ensure safe, reliable operation. The Application 
Notes found on page 3 are of paramount importance, so be sure to read them care thoroughly before proceeding with 
installation. All stated or implied manufacturer’s warranties are voided if this product is not installed and operated in 
accordance with these instructions.
