Linear actuators are actuators which create motion in a straight line. Unlike a motor, which creates circular motion, a linear actuator can be used with any application that requires moving something in a straight line (e.g. up and down or side to side). Windy Nation LIN-ACT1 Series Linear Actuators are a powerful and reliable linear actuator for small to medium loads. We designed our linear actuator with pre-lubricated metal gears, pre-installed limit switches, and with an IP65 (suitable for outdoor use) water resistance rating.

I was a little concerned reading the reviews that it might not work all that great in the cold
I bought this to act as the actuator on the snow deflector on my John Deere snowblower. I was a little concerned reading the reviews that it might not work all that great in the cold, or in the wet snow. I installed this unit near the end of February and had the chance to use it several times and it worked awesome! The movement isn't real quick, but that is fine, it moves it fine. The cold and wetness didn't appear to effect it one bit. The real test will be to see if it still works great next winter after sitting all year. I see no reason it won't. I would purchase this again.

Works good on chute of snowblower.
So far, so good. I have mounted this on the chute of my John Deere tractor-mounted snowblower chute and so far, it works well and it is about the right speed. I had tried a similar looking actuator last year that was rated for outdoor use, but it would only work when warm and dry which is strange for a screw-drive actuator.This unit has worked flawlessly so far at temps below -20F.I will update this review if anything fails.

Do not buy this product, it won't last
I bought this product 12/10/17 I used in for one winter season for my chute deflector on my snowblower, now it's not working, you would think this product would last longer than one season.

Nice reasonably priced actuator.
Actuator appears well made. I installed it on a snow blower to change angle of the discharge chute. Unit has been test run and is doing what I expected. Will give it 5 stars after this winter ends and I'm still satisfied with its performance.

They work great together and i am very pleased with this purchase
Works as described, I also ordered a 12V 10A 2 channel Universal gate/garage wireless opener remote control switch + transmitter to control actuator remotely. They work great together and i am very pleased with this purchase.

Simple and solid
These units are easy to work with and have plenty of margin, exceeding the manufacturers specifications. They do produce a lot of electrical noise and back EMF, so be careful with the controller design.
