Customer Reviews for VEVOR 12V Linear Actuator, 304.8mm Stroke IP65 Waterproof Linear Actuator, 3000N 5mm/s Motion Actuators with Mounting Bracket for Solar Trackers, Industrial Machinery, Door Opener

I picked this up for some robotics applications. I'm very impressed with how sturdy it is and the torque. It's pretty slow. It only travels 6 MM per second. So, to travel it's full 101 MM, it takes about 16.7 seconds. I'll probably see if I can replace the motor with one that turns a higher RPM to get it to move faster. I can accept losing some torque to gain some speed. It comes with nice mounting brackets and wrist pins.

Tested and works - will see how it performs in the future After installation, I don't think the lift capacity of 675lbs is accurate - maybe half

The actuator works exactly as described and seems to be of very good quality. It is quiet and just the right speed for applications such as TV lifts which we used it for. We wired it to a momentary switch, which was rather easy, and press the button up or down until it reaches our desired height. It has plenty of power for our 43" TV.

I have bought several of these actuators and very pleased with them. The faster they are the less the weight they push so choose wisely. Unlike me, i bought a lot of them before i figured that out.

I'm using this in my workshop to automate ventilation using the old coal chute door in my house. I need it when I'm painting or creating a lot of dust. The linear actuator gives me some security since this model only moves 4" and can't easily be forced open. I tested it on the bench and it works just fine with a 12v input, really quiet and clearly has a lot of power but that's not critical in my application. Reversing voltage change direction. It has an automatic shutoff that stops the drive at either extent and that was working fine as well. It certainly is not fast but that's expected, and it's still perfectly suitable for operating my vent door. Its construction is heavy duty and I have no doubt that it's going to work great in my application. Looking forward to using this to improve my shop.

Working brilliantly it’s not fast but definitely strong i can’t complain as for price was great value

Rock solid replacement for my solar tracker. I installed this VEVOR 12V linear actuator (6" stroke) to replace a failing unit on a sun-tracking solar setup and it’s been flawless. The actuator feels heavy-duty, the 3000N/675 lb rating inspires confidence, and the movement is smooth and consistent at the listed speed. The IP65 weather resistance was a must for outdoor use, and so far it’s handled the elements without any issues. The mounting brackets made the swap straightforward, and once installed it tracks reliably with no binding or hesitation. If you need a sturdy outdoor actuator for something like a solar tracker, this one has been a great buy.

Excellent linear actuator for my cable lift system used for a plow. I needed a way to raise and lower my landscaping blade i added to my utv without using the winch. This fits the task perfectly. It has the incremental movement i was looking for for precise blade position when leveling ground. I was using the winches cable for this prior to finding this actuator but had no precise control of positioning, this will allow much better control of the blades position. This actuator has the durability for the intended purpose of use. It operates quietly and smoothly with ample power to lift the 50lb blade. It is the most cost effective way to perform the task i needed.

We purchased this linear actuator for an outdoor project, and so far it feels solid and well built. The construction is sturdy, and the aluminum housing gives it a durable, heavy duty feel that inspires confidence for long-term use. The torque output is strong and handles medium load tasks smoothly. It runs quietly with minimal vibration, which is a big plus, especially for applications that require repeated movement. I also appreciate the IP65 rating since it’s intended for outdoor use and needs to withstand dust and moisture. Overall, this actuator seems reliable and versatile for a variety of projects, from home automation to outdoor systems. Based on the quality and performance so far, it looks like a dependable option for anyone needing a powerful 12V linear actuator.

Nice sturdy metal construction, easy to install and start using, quiet noise level and fast actuating speed. Great for custom DIY projects that require moving mechanism to open and close, convenient 12v power that ties in easily to things like RV power systems. Useful IP65 rating and push capacity, good build quality, nice price for what you get.
