12V 150N Stroke Length 50mm Linear Actuator

Specifications

Operating Characteristics

• Rated Voltage: 12 V DC
• Load Capacity (Thrust): Up to 150 N (≈ 15 kgf)
• Stroke Length: 50 mm (travel distance of the rod)
• Speed (No Load): ~5–15 mm/s (varies by model/gear ratio)
• Current Draw:
  • No‑load: ~0.2–0.5 A
  • Full load: ~1.5–3 A (depends on actuator design)

Mechanical Details

• Body Length (retracted): ~150–180 mm
• Extended Length: ~200–230 mm (retracted length + stroke)
• Rod Diameter: ~8–12 mm
• Mounting:
  • Eyelet or clevis ends on both sides
  • Often with removable pins for easy installationMotor and Drive

• Motor: DC electric motor (usually brushed)
• Gearbox: Worm gear or planetary gearbox for torque multiplication
• Drive Mechanism: Leadscrew or ball‑screw converts rotation to linear motion

Features

• Integrated limit switches (automatic stop at ends of stroke)
• Weather resistance (varies by model: some are IP‑rated)
• Quiet operation compared to solenoids
• Reversible motion via polarity reversal on 12 V supply

Typical Use Cases

• Robotics arms and grippers
• Door, lid, or hatch automation
• Adjustable furniture (beds, desks, chairs)
• Solar tracking mechanisms
• Automated valves and mechanisms
