12V Linear Actuator 300mm Stroke

Linear Motor offers linear actuation instead of rotational motion in normal electric motor. This Linear motor is generally less cumbersome than a cogged belt, simpler than a rack and pinion and more economical than a ball screw. It can be used in laboratory applications, industrial automation, and robotics. Examples:

• Electric Adjustable Bed for patient
• Electric Wheel Chair
• Electric Adjustable Table
• Electric Lift
• Electric Massage Chair
• Solar Panel Tracker

This linear motor is compact, self-locking, feature an ACME screw drive, an Aluminium alloy gear housing, aluminum extension and protection tubes, powder metal gears, and are ideally suited for off-highway equipment applications.
