Pololu Glideforce GF23-120502-1-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator: 12kgf, 2" Stroke (1.97" Usable), 3.3"/s, 12V

This 12V high-speed light-duty linear actuator features a 5:1 gear reduction, capable of lifting loads up to 12 kgf (approximately 120 N) and enduring static loads up to 30 kgf (about 300 N). It achieves a top speed of 84 mm/s under no load and 75 mm/s at maximum load. Equipped with limit switches at both ends, it ensures precise control over its full motion range, with the shaft maintaining its position when unpowered. This model offers a 50.8 mm stroke, with 50 mm usable, and does not include a feedback potentiometer.

Ideal for automation projects, this actuator is perfect for applications where speed and light-duty lifting are essential. Its compact design makes it suitable for tight spaces, offering a practical solution for robotics, home automation, and small-scale industrial tasks.

One of the standout benefits of this actuator is its reliability in maintaining position without power, which can be crucial in energy-saving applications. The integrated limit switches add an extra layer of safety and precision, preventing over-extension and ensuring consistent performance.

The actuator's high-speed capability and robust construction make it a unique choice for projects requiring quick, efficient linear motion. Its versatility and ease of integration into various systems make it an invaluable component for hobbyists and professionals alike.
