Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage options are available for this linear actuator electric motor?
A: This DC linear actuator is available in 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V DC configurations, giving you flexibility to integrate it into a wide range of electrical systems — from small DIY projects to larger industrial or home automation setups.
Q: How do I choose the right stroke length and force (N) rating for my application?
A: Stroke length determines how far the actuator extends — choose a stroke that matches the required movement distance in your application (e.g. 100mm for a compact window opener, 300mm+ for furniture lift systems). Force ratings range from 100N (lighter tasks) up to 1500N (heavy-duty loads). Match the Newton rating to the weight or resistance the actuator needs to move. If in doubt, choose a higher force rating for a margin of safety.
Q: Is this linear actuator waterproof or suitable for outdoor use?
A: The actuator carries an IP54 drip-proof protection rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for semi-exposed outdoor environments such as greenhouse window openers or covered installations. For full submersion or heavy rain exposure, additional weatherproofing measures are recommended.
Q: Does the linear actuator hold its position when power is off?
A: Yes. The self-locking mechanism retains approximately 80% of its rated holding force when unpowered, keeping the actuator securely in position without requiring continuous electrical input. This is particularly useful for furniture, window openers, and solar panel positioning applications.
