Pololu Glideforce GF23-120506-3-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator with Feedback: 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 (approximately 120 N). It can endure static loads up to 30 kgf (around 300 N). With a maximum speed of 84 mm/s at no load and 75 mm/s at maximum load, it ensures efficient operation. Equipped with limit switches at both ends, the actuator offers precise control throughout its full range of motion. The shaft remains stable when unpowered. This model includes a 15.2 cm stroke (15 cm usable) and a feedback potentiometer for accurate stroke position determination.

Ideal for applications requiring precise linear motion, this actuator is perfect for robotics, home automation, and industrial machinery. Its feedback potentiometer allows for accurate position control, making it suitable for projects where precision is key.

One of its standout features is the ability to maintain position without power, reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety in automated systems. The robust design ensures reliability and longevity, even under demanding conditions.

The actuator's compact form factor and straightforward installation process make it a versatile choice for both hobbyists and professionals. Its high-speed operation, combined with the ability to handle substantial loads, provides a perfect balance of performance and efficiency.
