Heavy Duty Linear Actuator 10" Inch Stroke 330 Pound Max Lift DC 12v/24v

I bought this to use in a industrial setting. We've been doing lab testing with this actuator now for a two months and it's performed amazingly. I know that's not a super long time, but we've put it through some hard living. It's been in/out as much as 100 times a day, dropped(more than a few times), accidentally blocked from moving, covered in grease and oil, and various other mistreatments. It still works flawlessly. The only complaint I have is the packaging. It arrived in a plastic bag with not a shred of padding. I don't know if that's on Amazon or the manufacturer, but it was pretty badly beat up when I received it. I would have likely returned it if I wasn't in an urgent need for it and if I wasn't about to ding it up myself.

Worked good to make SSQA opener for my tractor, now no more on and off the machine to change attachments.

Using twp of these to position some mirrors to reflect the sun to a solar collector. Tried to very the speed of the actuator, using pulse with modulation (PWM), that worked OK, but the position feed back, from the actuator, drifted when ever I drove the motor with PWM. If I drove the motor with a steady voltage, the position pulses did better, but still would drift depending on how often the motor would change directions. I used these outside, and yes I know they were not rated for wet areas. After about a year, some internals of one of the motors got corroded, and I took it apart, to see how it was constructed. It was constructed very well and also found, out how the drive limits worked

This is the third one I bought. When it arrived Amazon forgot to pack the mounting brackets and pins. Zoom Industrial was notified and the brackets and pins were promptly shipped and delivered in 2 1/2 days. Very pleased with the product and service.

I installed it to open and close the louvers over my indoor pool. After only a few uses, the plunger came apart. Maybe it is only designed to push and not to pull, I don't know, but it did not do the job at all.

used it to automate my chicken coop door... works great... probably overkill

This is a very nice actuator, either 12 or 24dc I hooked mine up to a 24vdc supply. I am using it to lift a mattress with under-bed storage in my travel trailor. Surprise at how quick it lifts. Would have given it 5 stars but one clevis pin and two cotter pins were missing, which left me scrambling to find substitutions. Sorry but no excuse for missing parts just lack of care.

Love it! I used it for my Motorhome traveling step.
