Pololu Glideforce GF23-120502-3-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator with Feedback: 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 handling static loads up to 30 kgf (around 300 N). It achieves a maximum speed of 84 mm/s at no load and 75 mm/s under maximum load. Equipped with limit switches at both ends, it allows for easy control throughout its full range of motion, and the shaft maintains its position when unpowered. This model offers a stroke of 5.08 cm (5 cm usable) and includes a feedback potentiometer to precisely determine the actuator's position within its stroke.

Ideal for applications requiring precise linear motion, this actuator can be used in robotics, automation systems, and custom machinery. Its feedback potentiometer enables accurate position tracking, making it perfect for tasks where precision is crucial.

One of the standout features is its ability to hold its position when unpowered, providing stability and safety in various applications. The integration of limit switches ensures that the actuator operates within safe limits, preventing overextension and potential damage.

Designed for versatility, this actuator's compact size and robust performance make it suitable for both hobbyist projects and professional installations. Its high-speed operation combined with substantial load-bearing capacity offers an excellent balance of speed and strength for dynamic applications.
