1000N Linear Actuator

These were great. I highly recommend it. You need 100% of 12 V to make them activate.

Excellent product, used daily for Oversize load sign

I wanted to wait a while before reviewing this because I was concerned about longevity from such a relatively inexpensive linear motor. But "so far, so good" ... and I'll update this review if/when it fails at a later date. (Whoops; see update below.) I'm using it to open a fairly heavy wooden "man gate" in my backyard fence, and it has plenty of power to do so. I teamed it up with a remote fwd/reverse controller ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSN27T1D ), which worked out perfectly. I'm a little suspicious of its IP54 claim, but we've had tons of rain here and it's holding up well. I may add a simple rain cover for it soon, for additional protection from above. Update: At the 9 week mark, my fence gate had swollen with rain so that it wouldn't close all the way. But the motor was trying its darndest to close it. I found the gate problem some days later, and the motor had burned out. No fault of the motor, but beware that it WILL burn out if you keep power applied for a long period of time without it being able to move to its STOP open or close positions. Update 2: I ordered a replacement, and once it arrived I installed it onto my fence -- and found that its CLOSE position was about 1/8" shorter than the first one. The drilled hole in the rod is in the same position relative to its end. The issue seems to be that the STOP limit switch adjustment is a little different between units. It would be great if there was access to adjust those open and close limit switches, but there is not. So I had to move over my fence bracket that 1/8" to compensate.

Bought 2 previously. One died in less than 3 months due to a stripped gear. Amp draw has been inconsistent between all 3, even spiking amps from binding non-concentric pinions&shafts. Overall they are fine for what i need, but the poor quality combined with slow & noisy operation leave much to be desired. Budget is only reason to buy these.

Works great Easy to use No issues

It's crap worked for a month then you have to hit it to make it move. Not worth it at all!!

Overkill for a chicken coop door, but I hope it will last longer than some of the other solutions. I'm running it from an ESP32 with L298N motor driver.

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.

This was a great addition for my tractor snowblower shoot. Worked well during the summer when I installed it and worked good during the first few winter storms we had. The only issue I had was that the further it got cold out, the worst it got because it would freeze and wouldn't move. I understand that I am using in a creative way, definitely should have bought something more heavy duty. But no complaints about buying it.

I fully expected these to be terribly over rated for power and they are. Good for maybe 1/4 of their max rating, supposed to be roughly 1/2 of the stall rating. However they work well and I bought assuming they would have far less "push" than advertised.

Used for a week now, unit works very well. Quiet and strong. Feels very sturdy, I'm sure it will last for years and many hundreds of thousands of cycles.

Installé sur la chute de souffleur sur mon tracteur. Pas le plus rapide mais travaille bien. Je le recommande !!!

Shaft stripped threads within a few days. Very poor quality
