Pololu Glideforce GF23-120512-3-65 High-Speed LD Linear Actuator with Feedback: 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 (120 N) and withstanding 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 each end, it ensures easy control throughout its full range of motion. The actuator's shaft maintains its position when unpowered. This model includes a 30.5 cm stroke (30 cm usable) and a feedback potentiometer for precise position tracking.

Ideal for projects requiring precise linear motion, this actuator can be used in robotics, home automation, and industrial applications. Its feedback potentiometer allows for accurate position monitoring, making it suitable for tasks that demand high precision.

One of the standout features is its ability to hold the shaft position when unpowered, enhancing safety and stability in various applications. The built-in limit switches simplify control, preventing overextension and ensuring smooth operation.

The actuator's robust design allows it to handle dynamic and static loads effectively, making it a reliable choice for both light-duty and demanding tasks. Its compact form factor and efficient performance make it a versatile component in any engineer's toolkit.
