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.
