Versatility Unlock Limitless Possibilities with the FIRGELLI Classic Rod linear actuators. With a wide range of nine stroke lengths, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 inches, you can effortlessly find the perfect fit for your project. These actuators boast impressive maximum load capacities, ranging from 35 to 200 lbs., ensuring that no weight or distance will be too challenging 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.  Features and Benefits Speed range: 0.3"/sec-2.0"/sec Fixed end-of-stroke limits built-in (not movable).

The diagram below shows how to wire a typical switch that reverses polarity for you inside the switch. Where it shows 2 points to connect the voltage and ground (-ve voltage) this means you simply add a wire to connect them together.  Use our wiring diagram generator to create different diagrams for different features.  Product Video Comparison Video Classic vs Premium linear actuator Performance Graph 3D Model Downloads (.STEP) 1 Inch 2 Inch 3 Inch 4 Inch 6 Inch 9 Inch 12 Inch 18 Inch 24 Inch Downloads Technical Drawings Spec Sheet FA-35 3D STEP file FA-150 3D STEP file
