    Experience the Versatility of the FIRGELLI Classic Rod linear actuator, a reliable solution designed to bring your automation ideas to life. With a range of nine stroke lengths and a robust maximum load capacity of up to 200 pounds, this actuator is engineered to meet the demands of various projects. Its compatibility with both 12V and 24V input sources ensures that you have the necessary power options at your disposal. Elevate your automation projects with the trusted performance of the Classic Rod. The FIRGELLI Classic Rod linear actuator empowers you to automate your tasks effectively. Whether it's lifting, sliding, pushing, or rotating, the extendable and retractable piston of this actuator delivers the precise force required for your project. By incorporating the Classic Rod, you can enhance the efficiency and functionality of your automation system, making your ideas a reality.

    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.

      • Wiring Diagram

        Wiring to the Classic style actuator is a simple 2-wire connection (+/- 12-24V)  reversing the wires changes the direction of the Actuator. 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.
