Mini Series: Compact Linear Actuator

Description Series Classification: Mini Series (Compact Rod) | Application: Home Automation, Automotive Consoles, & Hobby Robotics The Mini Series Actuator is engineered for applications where space is limited but reliable motion is essential. Delivering 15 lbs of force in a compact, lightweight package, this actuator is the go-to solution for automated glove boxes, hidden drawers, remote-control robotics, and aerospace mechanisms. Constructed from high-grade aluminum with quality internal gearing, the Mini Series operates smoothly at 1 inch per second with minimal noise. Its clean design features a robust casing and two clevis-type mounting points (compatible with MB1 Brackets) for quick installation using heavy-duty quick-release pins. System Integration Controlled via a simple 2-wire 12V DC interface, this actuator is incredibly easy to integrate. Reversing polarity changes the direction, making it compatible with standard rocker switches, wireless remotes, or micro-controllers like Arduino. For OEM integration, 3D CAD models are available in the 'Downloads' section below. For advanced control wiring diagrams, please consult our Technical Integration Guides.
