      Description

      Motorize your ideas with the FIRGELLI Classic Rod linear actuator. Lift, slide, push, or rotate another object as the piston extends and retracts to exert the force needed for your automation project. 

      Versatility 

      These classic linear actuators come in nine different stroke lengths: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24-inch strokes are available, letting you select the right size for any build. Classic Rod Linear Actuators also have maximum load capacities options of 35-, 150-, and 200 lbs. for each stroke length. Neither weight, nor distance will be too great for your device. All models are compatible with 12V input sources (or 24V where available). 

      Durability

      Manufactured with longevity in mind, our classic linear actuators are built to last. All structural components are made from aerospace-grade aluminum for lightweight yet rugged performance, and the IP54 rating lets you trust that your unit will be dust and splash-resistant enough to withstand the elements. For more on IP ratings and what they mean, we have an in-depth article.  For added safety, internal limit switches deactivate the unit once the arm has reached maximum extension/retraction, protecting the device and your build. 

      3D CAD models of this actuator can be found under the 3D model tab or Resources/3D Files. For further information review the specifications and technical drawings down below or visit our Tutorials page for instructions on how to use these actuators with switches, remotes, speed controllers, and Arduino or other Micro-controllers.
