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

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

Generallly this works OK, and meets its specs. However, the machining of the mounting pin holes is shockingly bad. Ordinary good manufacturing practices produce products with better tolerances than a hobbyist machine shop can. This is much worse than hobbyist machining level. The pin hole (at the motor end) is not perpendicular to the rod, which can be checked by mounting the actuator in one position (eg. motor facing east), and then remounting it after rotating it 180 degrees. On mine, the difference in rod end position was about 1.5 inches, meaning that the hole was drilled a couple degrees from perpendicular. Some hand filing with a rat tail file trued mine up enough to prevent binding, but of course, the hole is no longer round or straight. Suggested improvements: stainless steel anchor brackets and pins to make it more suitable for use outdoors. And, of course, standard machining.

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.

I bought this to automate the chicken coop door. It mounted easily, and after I connected it to the timer and relay DPDT switch, it works to open and close the door flawlessly. Its been working for only 3 weeks, and there has been little to no rain, so I dont know how it will hold up to weather, but it is reported to be useful for agriculture applications which by design would be outside. I will upload a photo and maybe report on how its doing after a winter has passed (if I remember to do it). I would buy this again.

In the first photo you see that you cannot mount the LINEAR actuator flush. So if you wanted to use it for a sliding mechanism, you cannot. If you wanted to mount it in the interior of a door to use it for opening the door, you cannot. Second photo and thirdyou see the stud on the motor side that is to attach to the mounting bracket is so far off MFG tolerance that you can’t insert the pin into the bracket holes. Returned.

good product

I used it to open and close the slide on my seed spreader. Now I do not need to get out of the cab of the tractor.

works good for the application I needed it for

I bought one of these because of the high-speed in the description. But running on on 12VDC , we measured the speed at only 9mm per second, not 14 as stated. Also, load capacity in the description is given as 1000 newtons, but on the unit itself, it says 1100 N (Push Only). Push Only isnt the same as being able to take the load in both directions. I wrote a one star review based on the above and ECO contacted me very quickly, so I upgraded to 3 stars. Very good customer service!

Fast shipping. After ordering, found basically the same on Ebay for less. Still happy though!
