Pololu Glideforce GF23-120512-1-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator: 12kgf, 12" Stroke (11.8" 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 kgf (approximately 120 N) and enduring 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 ensures precise control throughout its full range of motion. The actuator's shaft maintains its position when unpowered and offers a 30 cm stroke (approximately 29.9 cm usable) without a feedback potentiometer.

Ideal for applications requiring rapid and efficient linear motion, this actuator is perfect for projects in automation, robotics, and home automation systems. Its high-speed capability makes it suitable for tasks demanding quick adjustments and movements.

One of the standout features is its ability to hold its position even when power is cut, providing reliability and safety in various applications. The built-in limit switches simplify integration, allowing for straightforward operation without additional control systems.

With its robust construction and efficient performance, this linear actuator is an excellent choice for both hobbyists and professionals looking to add dynamic movement to their projects. Its compact design and powerful performance make it versatile for a wide range of uses.
