Customer Reviews for VEVOR Linear Actuator 12V, 20 Inch Waterproof IP65 Linear Actuator, 660lbs/3000N 0.19"/s Linear Motion Actuator with Mounting Bracket for Outdoor Use

Just what I needed

This is a solidly built linear actuator. It's not very fast, but that's stated in the item description. It's pretty strong, with the listing stating it can handle 675 lbs, which I assume the mean ft-lbs. Comes with mounting brackets for ease of installation. The stroke length of 6" on the one I got isn't enormous, best used for heavier items that don't need a lot of movement like a greenhouse window, but they make bigger stroke length ones.

Project shute deflector on my land pride rear snowblower. It was just bolt on, hookup electrical wires to reverse switch in kubota tractor cab. Slow but does what I want, no more adjust up and down shute. Already made a shute rotation with whiper motor. Great value, looks heavy duty. Chose 6 in because of travel, you might get away with a 4 in extention but 6 is better, i think 12 in would be overkill and may need modification to fit.Only con, tad slow but speed of operation no a issue.

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.
