• Stall current at 12 V: 7 A
• IP rating: IP65
• RoHS 3 compliant

The Pololu Glideforce High-Speed LD Linear Actuator w/ Feedback, 12kgf, 8In Stroke, 12V has an 8-inch stroke (7.8 inch usable) and a feedback potentiometer that lets you determine where the actuator is in its stroke.

This is a 12V DC Gearmotor that uses a lead screw to move a shaft back and forth along its length. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered and subjected to static loads up to 250 kgf [550 lbs or 2500 N] for the LACT versions and 30 kgf [67 lbs or 300 N] for the GF23 versions.

Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while integrated diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point if the supplied voltage is reversed. The actuators have an all-aluminum frame and extension tube, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP65).
