Pololu Glideforce MD122006-P Medium-Duty Linear Actuator with Feedback: 100kgf, 6" Stroke (5.9" Usable), 0.58"/s, 12V

The Glideforce MD122006-P Medium-Duty Linear Actuator is a robust 12V DC gearmotor designed for efficient linear motion. With a 20:1 gearbox reduction and all-metal gears, it can handle loads up to 100 kgf (1000 N) and offers a speed range of 1.0 to 1.5 cm/s, depending on the load. The actuator's aluminum frame and extension tube are sealed against dust and water (IP65), and it integrates limit switches and diodes for safe and reversible operation.

This actuator is ideal for applications requiring precise control, such as automated systems, robotics, and industrial machinery. The feedback potentiometer provides accurate position tracking, making it suitable for systems that demand precise motion control.

One of the standout benefits of this actuator is its ability to maintain position under static loads up to 450 kgf, even when unpowered. This feature is crucial for applications that require stability and reliability. Additionally, its robust construction ensures durability in demanding environments.

The actuator's versatility is enhanced by its compatibility with various motor controllers, such as the Jrk G2 24v13, which simplifies the integration into feedback systems. With a range of stroke lengths available, from 10 cm to 30 cm, it can be tailored to specific application needs.

For installation, mounting brackets made from machined aluminum or stamped steel are available, requiring two per actuator. This ensures secure attachment to the desired structure, facilitating smooth and reliable operation.

Overall, the Glideforce MD122006-P Medium-Duty Linear Actuator is a reliable choice for projects that require robust and precise linear motion, offering exceptional performance and durability across various applications.
