ECO-WORTHY Heavy Duty 330lbs/1500N Chicken Coop Linear Actuator Multi-Functions with Mounting Brackets (12V, 12") IP54 Waterproof 300mm Stroke Linear Motion Actuator

Sorry I don't have any pictures on this one, but honestly I have only done some testing with it so far. When I do an actual project I will update it with some pictures.Linear actuators this strong are not cheap and the price on this one is great. It is quiet and moves smoothly, and I don't have any reason to believe it would not reach its load capacity as advertised. Be advised that your are trading strength with speed. While it is super strong, it is slow with about a quarter inch of movement per second. Again, the strength is inversely proportional to the speed, if it were faster is would be far weaker.While I don't doubt the ability of the actuator to hit it's weight target, the brackets on the other hand would not (in my opinion). They are stamped metal that I would anticipate would deform under far less weight that the actuator can handle so that would be the weak link.Voltage and amp draw are in line with what I would expect. Under a reasonable load it drew about 7 amps, which is pretty high. Based on the brand, I suspect that these are mainly intended for solar panel positioning, and they would work great for that. Slow speed and smooth motion would suit this purpose very well. A power supply to drive it would be the hard part and would likely cost you more than the actuator.I would add that they are IP54 and sealed really well. I think they would survive fairly well in an outdoor environment but I have not really tested that aspect of it.

Great little linear actuator so far. Using these to fold a solar pergola up and down in my cabana. They are quite slow but geared for high torque so its to be expected. The wires running to it are'nt the most confidence inspiring though, quite thin over what i was expecting. Although it does claim a duty cycle of only 25%, so i suppose they're enough to get the job done.

This actuator boasts a 330lb capacity, and I believe every ounce of that. It's ability to exert force is impressive. The only thing that keeps it from being almost weapons-grade, is that it moves relatively slowly. And that's not a complaint, it's praise!Easy to attach however your use-case is configured, and control couldn't be much simpler. I really like this as an option for projector or TV movements, adjusting solar panels, or almost any other use.

It’s just a little slow

The media could not be loaded. I'm not able to test if it can actually lift 300 plus pounds, but I can tell you it is pretty sturdy. I got it trying to lift something that's pretty heavy, and the angle isn't great for it. Haven't had any issues, I did it first though. It would extend all the way out, and then go down about an inch. But ever since I added a second one, that issue in a way. Now my understanding on the way these work there should be a self locking mechanism when they are not moving, but maybe I just had too much pressure on it at that angle. Hasn't gotten louder, if anything it's gotten a little quieter since use, maybe it's getting broken in. Would I purchase again? Yes. I have no major complaints, and even came with the plug for the round power plug, but I just got that off. Plan on wiring these two switch with a timer. Mind you the trigger switches on the fully extended, and fully retracted do work, no issues there.

The ECO-WORTHY Heavy Duty 330lbs/1500N Linear Actuator Appears to be a High Quality Build, the Actuator arrived with a 2 Pin Weatherproof Screw Connector, Without a Matching Plug or Cord. At First the Actuator would Not Respond, the Seller Recommended Several Steps Including Reversing the Polarity, I Finally Removed the Connector and Hardwired the Actuator Cable to get it to Work Properly. Faulty Connector.The ECO-WORTHY Heavy Duty 330lbs/1500N Linear Actuator is Very Powerful, I think 330Lbs. is Very Conservative, the RAM operates Smooth with No Jumping or Hopping. The DC Motor is Quiet and Reliable. I gave the ECO-WORTHY Heavy Duty 330lbs/1500N Linear Actuator a Full Four Star Rating Across the Board. I Did Omit The Fifth Star for the Lack of a Matching Connector or Pigtail to Use with the Integrated Waterproof Connector as Discussed.

Well built, I am using this for a small garden tractor attachment point, that may push the 330lb limit so I am only rating based on build quality since I will be pushing it to it's max and possibly slightly beyond.

This type of actuator has many applications. We are playing around with homegrown electric powered garden vehicles and this makes an interesting addition to the possibilities.These are much more convenient to implement than are full on hydraulic actuators with their pumps and plumbing.
