Pololu Glideforce GF23-120510-1-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator: 12kgf, 10" Stroke (9.8" 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 kg (120 N) while withstanding static loads up to 30 kg (300 N). It achieves a maximum speed of 84 mm/s at no load and 75 mm/s at full load. Equipped with limit switches at each end, it offers easy control across its entire range of motion. The shaft maintains its position when unpowered, and it includes a 25.4 cm stroke with 24.9 cm of usable length, without a feedback potentiometer.

Ideal for applications requiring precise linear motion, this actuator is perfect for home automation projects, robotics, or any system needing reliable and efficient linear movement. Its compact size and robust construction make it suitable for tight spaces while ensuring durability and performance.

One of the standout features is its ability to hold its position when unpowered, providing stability and safety in various applications. The integrated limit switches simplify the control process, preventing overextension and ensuring the actuator operates within its designated range.

Whether for hobbyists or professional engineers, this actuator offers a blend of speed, power, and control, making it a versatile addition to any project requiring efficient linear actuation.
