The Actuonix PQ12 Actuator 20mm, 63:1, 12V, Potentiometer is Actuonix's unique line of Miniature Linear Actuators. It enables a new generation of motion-enabled product designs, with capabilities that have never before been combined in a device of this size. These tiny linear actuators are a superior alternative in designing your own push/pull mechanisms.

The PQ12 actuators are complete, self contained linear motion devices with position feedback for sophisticated position control capabilities, or end of stroke limit switches for simple two position automation. Driving them couldn't be easier, simply apply a DC voltage to extend the actuator, and reverse the polarity to retract it.

These actuators have no built in controller, but do provide analog position feedback. While voltage is applied to the motor power pins (2 & 3) the actuator extends. Reverse the polarity and the actuator retracts. Position of the actuator stroke can be monitored using the internal linear potentiometer.

This actuator offers compact miniature size and precise position feedback. It can be used for applications in robotics, consumer appliances, toys, rc vehicles, automotive, and industrial automation.
