Pololu Glideforce GF23-120506-1-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator: 12kgf, 6" Stroke (5.9" 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 (120 N) and handling static loads up to 30 kgf (300 N). It offers a maximum speed of 84 mm/s at no load and 75 mm/s at maximum load. Equipped with limit switches at both ends, it allows for precise control throughout its full range of motion. The actuator's shaft maintains its position when unpowered. It comes with a 15 cm stroke, with 15 cm usable, and does not include a feedback potentiometer.

Perfect for applications requiring quick and efficient linear motion, this actuator is ideal for robotics, home automation, and industrial machinery. Its compact design and high-speed capabilities make it a versatile choice for projects where space is limited but performance is crucial.

One of the standout benefits is its ability to hold its position without power, which can be crucial for energy efficiency in battery-powered systems. The built-in limit switches ensure that the actuator stops precisely at the desired endpoints, preventing over-extension and potential damage.

With its robust construction and reliable performance, this linear actuator is a great solution for both hobbyists and professionals looking to automate movements with precision and speed. Whether you're designing a custom robotic arm or enhancing an automated window system, this actuator provides the power and control needed to get the job done effectively.
