DC HOUSE 12 Inch 12 High Speed 14mm/s Linear Actuator Motor 1000N DC12V with Mounting Brackets

using this for an automatic chicken coop door. It is outdoors, but covered. using for about 3 months now. the whole system has worked perfectly.

Bought 2 previously. One died in less than 3 months due to a stripped gear. Amp draw has been inconsistent between all 3, even spiking amps from binding non-concentric pinions&shafts. Overall they are fine for what i need, but the poor quality combined with slow & noisy operation leave much to be desired. Budget is only reason to buy these.

Generallly this works OK, and meets its specs. However, the machining of the mounting pin holes is shockingly bad. Ordinary good manufacturing practices produce products with better tolerances than a hobbyist machine shop can. This is much worse than hobbyist machining level. The pin hole (at the motor end) is not perpendicular to the rod, which can be checked by mounting the actuator in one position (eg. motor facing east), and then remounting it after rotating it 180 degrees. On mine, the difference in rod end position was about 1.5 inches, meaning that the hole was drilled a couple degrees from perpendicular. Some hand filing with a rat tail file trued mine up enough to prevent binding, but of course, the hole is no longer round or straight. Suggested improvements: stainless steel anchor brackets and pins to make it more suitable for use outdoors. And, of course, standard machining.

Using this for raising and lowering of grading blade on lawn tractor.. Slow and weak! Sheared a bushing, broke a snap ring, made my job a nightmare!

Great

It does the important: force said, speed said, long said. BUT it seems to have plastic gears. It sounds like a toy. I dont believe it will last enough. And I dont know if its used or the finish quality is very bad.

used it for deflector on snow blower

Please check if the bracket fits.

worked as needed

Good product it just didn’t lift my 75lb object like I thought it would..
