To get your actuator up and running, apply 6-12VDC to the positive (red) and negative (black) wires. You do not need to do anything with the potentiometer wires (Blue, Yellow, White). The potentiometer wires are only needed if you are building a system which requires you to know the exact position of the actuator piston. For normal operation, we recommend purchasing the switch above and wiring the switch according to the schematic.

Move up to 450 lbs for under $400! Introducing our all new Super-Duty 12V Linear Actuators. Now you have the power for those extra large projects. These actuators utilize precision ball screw drives which offer increased efficiency, life and precision over ACME drives. Built in potentiometer can be easily accessed for position feedback but is not necessary for operation. Limit switches at both ends prevent over-run. All aluminum construction with metal drive gears ensure tremendous durability and reliability. We offer them in six stroke lengths from 3 inches up to 24 inches. Extension shaft is 1.125” diameter. Mounting holes are 1/2” diameter and bolt up directly to our optional mounting brackets. Note: These systems are extremely powerful and caution must be used during operation.
