Symptom / Trouble 

Possible Cause / Troubleshooting Procedure 

No response from 
actuator. 

1. Check amplifier for faults that may indicate  
    problem. 
2. Check to insure that amplifier is enabled. 
3. Check for proper wiring. 

Actuator seems to be 
enabled (receiving 
current) but is not 
operating or is 
operating erratically. 

1.  Amplifier may be improperly tuned. Check all  
 

gain settings. 

 

If a motor file or parameters specific to your 

 

amplifier/actuator combination have been 

 

supplied by Exlar, be sure that they are entered 

 

or downloaded properly. 

2. Amplifier may be set up improperly for the 
 

particular motor being used. Check amplifier 

 

settings for number of poles, voltage, current, 

 

resistance, inductance, and inertia.  

3. Feedback wiring may be incorrect. 
4. Feedback conductors are touching, or feedback 
 

cable may be damaged. 

5. Motor phases are wired incorrectly or in 
 

incorrect order. (R,S,T) 

6. Feedback (resolver or encoder) is improperly 
 

aligned. Contact Exlar.  

Actuator cannot move 
load. 

1. Load is too large for the capacity of the actuator 
 

or too much friction is present. 

2. Excessive side load. 
3. Misalignment of output rod to load. 
4. Amplifier has too low of current capacity or is 
 

limited to too low of current capacity. 

Actuator housing 
moves or vibrates 
when shaft is in 
motion.  

1. Check actuator mounting. Insure that the 
 

actuator is securely mounted. 

2. Amplifier is improperly tuned (wrong gain 
 

settings). Tune amplifier. 

Output rod rotates 
during motion and thus 
does not provide 
proper linear motion. 

1. Install Exlar anti-rotation assembly or 
 

incorporate anti-rotation into the application.  

Limit switches not 
functioning. 

1.  Limit switches wired improperly. Refer to 
 

manual. 

2.  The device being driven by the limit switches is 
 

not compatible with the electrical output of the 

 

limit switch. Check device requirements. 

3.  Switches have been damaged by improper 
 

wiring or improper voltage applied. Replace 

 

switches.
