Can I Use Your Actuators to Replace The One That I Already Have?

Our actuators can be seamless replacements for most applications, however, should verify the necessary specifications for compatibility such as voltage rating, force rating, speed, ingress protection requirements, and stroke length.

Are All of Your Control Boxes Compatible With All Of Your Linear Actuators?

No. However, we have a large variety of control boxes to choose from for each actuator. Alternatively, you may also use rocker switches as a form of motion control.

Can I Use My Own Control Box?

Yes, however, you need to ensure your control box can provide sufficient current draw and compatible voltage. Otherwise, you risk damaging your actuator(s).

Can I Use My Own Power Supply as a Source For My Actuators?

Yes. However, it is important to have sufficient voltage and current to be applied to your actuator.
