The LKT 12V Linear Actuator is a compact and reliable electric actuator designed to convert rotational motion from a low-voltage DC motor into precise linear motion (push and pull). Made from durable aluminum alloy, it provides smooth, quiet operation and is suitable for a wide variety of industrial, medical, and home automation applications. This model features a 100mm stroke and includes mounting brackets for easy installation.
Working Principle
The actuator operates via a DC motor, gear, and spindle assembly with nut, converting rotational motion into linear movement. It includes built-in limit switches to automatically stop the rod at fully extended or retracted positions. The actuator also features a self-locking function, maintaining its position without power.
