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

This actuator stopped working after 2 weeks. I took it apart and poured a tablespoon of water out of the gear and motor housing. The listing says rated for outdoor use - HA! My suggestion is if you need an actuator that gets even partially exposed to the weather (like my application) #1 - dont buy this - #2 if you must, silicone every seam, joint and bolt hole. I get tired of the lies - the description for this product is inaccurate and vastly overstated. An IP65 rated enclosure gives protection against low pressure water jets from any direction, as well as condensation and water spray

The casting at the attachment point is very thin pot metal and gave out at approximately 100 pounds of load. The Actuator literally pulled itself apart.

I used it to raise the deflector on my snow blower

Purchased for an automatic chicken coop door. I had to file both bracket pin holes to connect them properly to the actuator. The alignment was so far off on the motor side it wouldn’t connect at all, the other end would connect but would not freely move. The actuator operation is smooth and not as loud as I was expecting. I’m satisfied over all with this product and would buy again for the value.

Very quiet Smooth and runs fast

Moves nice and fast but could not lift me. Im 160 lbs. Says it can lift 220lbs. Maybe it can lower 220 lbs. But I could not get it to straight lift over 150 lbs.

Worked fine until temps dipped below freezing. It is mounted under chicken nesting boxes set deep inside the coop, out of the weather. Freezes every time below 32 degrees. That was the whole point in purchasing, so I could open from my phone in freezing weather. Complete fail!

So far these will to as described. Smooth raising and lowering.

Great

Works great, very powerful and perfect for what I needed it for. Will buy another one for another project.
