12V Linear Actuator 3000N 20" Stroke IP65 Waterproof + Bracket

12V Linear Actuator — 3000N Force, 20-Inch Stroke, IP65 Waterproof

Bring precision, power, and reliability to your automation projects with this heavy-duty 12V DC linear actuator. Rated at 3000N (660 lbs) of actuation force and featuring a full 20-inch (500mm) stroke, it is engineered for demanding industrial, agricultural, and outdoor applications. The CE-certified aluminum alloy construction ensures lasting durability, while the IP65 protection rating keeps dust and water out — even in harsh outdoor environments. Made in Mainland China.

Key Features

• High Actuation Force: Delivers up to 3000N (660 lbs) of force — ideal for agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, solar tracking systems, and construction automation.
• IP65 Weatherproof Protection: Fully sealed against dust ingress and protected against water jets, making it suitable for irrigation systems, lawn equipment, and outdoor automation setups.
• 20-Inch (500mm) Stroke Length: Offers an extended range of linear motion for applications requiring greater travel distance and flexibility.
• Quiet Operation: Runs at ≤60 dB, so it integrates smoothly into furniture automation, smart home systems, and light commercial environments without disruptive noise.
• Aluminum Alloy Build: Precision-machined from high-quality aluminum alloy for strength, stability, and long service life under frequent use.
• Includes Mounting Hardware: Package comes with 2 mounting brackets, 2 R-type pins, 2 screw rods, and 2 waterproof cap covers for straightforward installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What voltage does this linear actuator require?

A: This linear actuator operates on DC 12V with a rated current of less than 6 amps. It is designed for 12V DC power supplies commonly used in automotive, solar, and industrial automation systems.

Q: Is this linear actuator suitable for outdoor use in wet conditions?

A: Yes. The actuator carries an IP65 protection rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. It is well-suited for outdoor applications such as solar panel tracking, irrigation control, and lawn equipment automation.

Q: What is the duty cycle of this actuator, and why does it matter?

A: The duty cycle is 25%, which means the actuator should run for a maximum of 25% of any given time period and be allowed to rest for the remaining 75%. For example, if it runs for 1 minute, allow it to rest for 3 minutes before the next cycle. Respecting the duty cycle prevents overheating and extends the actuator's lifespan.

Q: Does the package include a motor controller?

A: No — the package includes the linear actuator, 2 mounting brackets, 2 R-type pins, 2 screw rods, and 2 waterproof cap covers. A motor controller for precise positioning and directional control must be purchased separately.

Q: What applications is this 3000N linear actuator best suited for?

A: This actuator is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high force and extended reach, including agricultural machinery, solar panel tracking systems, industrial conveyor systems, gate automation, irrigation valve control, furniture lift mechanisms, and construction equipment automation.
