Pololu Glideforce GF23-120510-3-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator with Feedback: 12kgf, 10" Stroke (9.8" Usable), 3.3"/s, 12V

This 12V high-speed light-duty linear actuator is engineered with 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 top speed of 84 mm/s at no load and 75 mm/s at maximum load, it ensures efficient performance. Equipped with limit switches at both ends, it offers straightforward control across its entire range of motion. The shaft maintains its position even when unpowered. This model features a 25.4 cm stroke (24.9 cm usable) and includes a feedback potentiometer for precise position tracking.

Ideal for a variety of applications, this actuator can be utilized in robotics, home automation, and DIY projects requiring precise linear motion. Its feedback potentiometer provides real-time position information, making it perfect for projects that demand accuracy and repeatability.

The actuator's robust construction and reliable performance make it a standout choice for both hobbyists and professionals. Its ability to hold position without power is particularly beneficial for energy-saving applications, while the built-in limit switches simplify integration into automated systems.

With its compact design and high-speed capabilities, this actuator offers a versatile solution for projects requiring rapid and reliable linear motion. Whether you're building a custom robot or automating a part of your home, this actuator delivers the performance and precision you need.
