Description
Laurence Scott FLA6041 | ND080F0110 Linear Actuator
Dynamic Product Introduction
The Laurence Scott FLA6041 is a compact fast linear actuator intended for applications where the actuator has to make a relatively short mechanical movement repeatedly and quickly. Its documented 4 mm stroke places it firmly in the short-travel actuator category rather than conventional long-stroke linear positioning equipment.
The actuator belongs to the Laurence Scott PSS/Precision Step System product ecosystem, which includes dedicated SRB electronic control and drive units as well as FLA actuators. That matters when replacing one in an installed machine: the actuator should be matched to the original control electronics and mechanical assembly rather than treated as a generic pneumatic or electric linear actuator.

Model and Part-Number Identification
The commonly cross-referenced configuration is:
FLA6041 — ND080F0110
The available product catalog identifies:
- FLA6041: 4 mm stroke linear actuator
- ND080F0110: associated part number
- FLA6081 / ND080F0112: 8 mm stroke variant
- FLA2051 / ND080F0061: 20 mm stroke variant
- FLA1251 / ND080F0059: 12 mm stroke variant
- FLA2551 / ND080F0058: 25 mm stroke variant
- FLA0551 / ND080F0057: 5 mm stroke variant
This is useful for procurement because the stroke length is not interchangeable merely because the actuators belong to the same FLA family.

Specifications I Would Not Publish Without the Nameplate
There are several reseller pages circulating with conflicting technical claims for FLA6041/ND080F0110, including voltage, current, power, pressure, speed, and torque values. Those claims are not consistent with the stronger product-family evidence.
For an engineering listing, I would not publish values such as 220 VAC, 0.8 kW, 4 A, 6,000 rpm, or 10 N·m as verified specifications without an original Laurence Scott datasheet or the actual unit’s rating plate.
One third-party page even describes the as a servo motor, while the more specific Laurence Scott product listings identify it as a 4 mm stroke fast linear actuator.
That distinction is important. The actuator’s mechanical stroke is the reliable identification parameter here.
System Context
The belongs to a broader Laurence Scott product ecosystem that includes:
- FLA: Fast Linear Actuator
- SRB: Electronic control and drive equipment
- RotaStep: Pneumatic clutch/brake equipment
- SRA: Clutch/brake equipment
The product catalog specifically places alongside SRB310x control/drive units and other FLA actuator models.
This suggests the is normally one component of a machine-level clutch/brake or motion-control arrangement rather than a standalone programmable positioning device.
Global Sourcing & Live-Test SOP
1. Inbound Verification
For a Laurence Scott , verify:
- marking
- ND080F0110 part number where present
- Manufacturer identification
- Serial number
- Stroke designation
- Mechanical mounting features
- Rod/linkage condition
- Connector or cable condition
- Evidence of previous repair
Photograph the complete identification label before removing packaging.
2. Mechanical Inspection
Because this is a short-stroke actuator, mechanical condition matters.
Inspect:
- Actuator rod or moving element
- 4 mm travel
- Mounting points
- Linkage connection
- Return mechanism where applicable
- Housing
- Seals
- Evidence of contamination
- Mechanical binding
Do not force the mechanism through its stroke if resistance is abnormal.
3. Control-System Verification
If the original installation uses Laurence Scott SRB equipment, identify the exact SRB control/drive model before applying power.
The Laurence Scott catalog lists multiple SRB units, including SRB3100, SRB3101, SRB3102, SRB3103, SRB3105, SRB3107, and SRB3110. They should not be assumed to be interchangeable simply because they belong to the same family.
4. Functional Test
Where the correct OEM-compatible test setup is available, verify:
- Actuator initialization
- Full 4 mm movement
- Movement repeatability
- Response to the associated controller
- Smooth mechanical action
- Return behavior
- Abnormal noise
- Excessive heating
- Mechanical end-stop behavior
A visual inspection alone should not be described as a functional test.
5. Final Preparation
Before shipment:
- Record / .
- Photograph the nameplate.
- Record serial/revision information.
- Protect the actuator rod.
- Prevent contamination of mechanical interfaces.
- Protect connectors and cables.
- Use impact-resistant packaging.
Field Engineer’s Pitfall Guide
❗ 1. Do Not Confuse With the 8 mm FLA6081
These are close-looking family members but have different strokes.
= 4 mm stroke.
FLA6081 = 8 mm stroke.
The corresponding catalog numbers are also different: versus ND080F0112.
In a clutch/brake application, doubling the actuator stroke is not a harmless substitution.
❗ 2. Match the SRB Control Equipment
The FLA actuator is associated with Laurence Scott’s SRB electronic control/drive family. The available product catalog lists multiple SRB models with different part numbers.
Before replacement, record the SRB model installed on the machine. Do not assume that any SRB controller will correctly drive an .
❗ 3. Do Not Copy Unverified Servo-Motor Specifications
Some online pages incorrectly describe – as a conventional AC servo motor and publish specifications such as 220 VAC, 0.8 kW, 4 A, 6,000 rpm, and 10 N·m. Those claims conflict with the more specific product identification showing as a 4 mm fast linear actuator.
For procurement, the safe engineering description is the actuator’s documented function and stroke unless the original electrical datasheet is available.
Intent-Driven FAQ
What is the Laurence Scott ?
The is a Fast Linear Actuator in the Laurence Scott FLA product family.
What is the part number for ?
The commonly listed associated part number is .
What is the stroke of ?
The documented stroke is 4 mm.
Is a servo motor?
No. The stronger product-family documentation identifies as a fast linear actuator, not as a conventional rotary servo motor. Some third-party listings incorrectly classify it as a servo motor.
What equipment is associated with ?
It belongs to the Laurence Scott Precision Step System ecosystem, which includes FLA actuators and SRB electronic control/drive equipment.
Is interchangeable with FLA6081?
Not automatically. is the 4 mm version, while FLA6081 is the 8 mm version. The corresponding part numbers are different.
What should I verify before buying a replacement ?
Verify the complete / identification, stroke, mechanical mounting arrangement, associated SRB controller, and the original machine’s actuator configuration.
Procurement Verdict
Laurence Scott is a specialized 4 mm-stroke fast linear actuator, with as its associated part number.
For installed machinery, the key procurement issue is not finding something that merely looks like a small linear actuator. It is matching the 4 mm stroke, mechanical interface, and associated Laurence Scott control system.
Keep the complete identification / in the purchasing record. Avoid substituting the 8 mm FLA6081 or another FLA-series actuator without checking the machine’s original engineering documentation.
