Linear Actuator

One hundred and ten pounds of push. Both directions. Powered lids and covers usually fail in the same place: a motor that is strong enough to open something and nowhere near strong enough to control it coming back down. These LACT series actuators push and pull at 110 lbs with built in limit switches; so the travel stops where the unit says it stops rather than where a linkage runs out of room. Two lengths. The LACT-6 runs 11-1/2 inch retracted to 17-1/2 inch extended in 10 seconds. The LACT-8 runs 13-1/2 inch to 21-1/2 inch in 13 seconds. Measure your opening arc before you pick. Each one arrives complete: machined aluminum mounting brackets; a control switch and a wiring harness. The mounting plate is 1-1/8 inch by 1-1/2 inch wide. Trunk lids; tonneau covers; amplifier racks; compartment covers; storage drawers. Anywhere something heavy should move on its own.

  • 110 lbs both ways - the same force pushing and pulling; a lid that opens under power also closes under control.
  • Limit switches built in - travel stops at the unit rather than at the end of a linkage.
  • Two strokes published - 6 inch and 8 inch with full retracted and extended lengths so you can measure before you buy.
  • Machined aluminum brackets included - mounting hardware; a control switch and a harness come with each unit.
  • More than trunk lids - amplifier racks; compartment covers and storage drawers are published uses.
