Micro F12 Series: Compact Linear Actuator (Legacy)

Description PRODUCT NOTICE: Manufacturing for this model was discontinued in 2025. Sales are limited to remaining stock only. Recommended Replacement: Please upgrade to our newer Micro Utility Series for improved performance and availability. Series Classification: Micro F12 Series (Legacy Compact) | Application: Small-Scale Robotics, RC Models, & Prototype Automation The Micro F12 Series Actuator is a legacy favorite for applications where space is the primary constraint. Small, lightweight, and durable, this unit features a **Water-Resistant IP66 Seal** and a **Full Metal Gearbox**, ensuring longevity even in such a compact form factor. It is similar in design to the original L12 actuators, offering a reliable push/pull force of 4.4 lbs (20N). Ideally suited for hobbyists and engineers alike, the F12 Series integrates easily into tight spaces using its 4.1mm clevis mounting holes. The unique Rotatable Shaft allows you to orient the mounting holes up to 180 degrees, solving alignment issues during installation. Control & Integration Controlled via a simple 2-wire 12V DC interface, reversing polarity changes the direction. This makes it compatible with standard Rocker Switches, Remote Controls, and micro-controllers.
