The Glideforce GF01 series is a set of micro-sized linear actuators from Concentric International weighing between 30 g and 60 g, depending on the stroke length. They consist of small 12V DC gearmotors that drive a lead screw to move a shaft back and forth, turning the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion of the shaft. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered and subjected to static loads up to 4 kgf [9 lb or 40 N]. Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while integrated diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point if the supplied voltage is reversed. The actuators have an aluminium extension tube and inner tube with a plastic case and end-cap, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP66).
Glideforce Micro (GF01) series of linear actuators.
These actuators are available in several gear ratios and a variety of stroke lengths, from 10 mm to 100 mm. The comparison table below shows all of the micro-sized linear actuators we carry:

Glideforce GF01 Micro Linear Actuator, 10mm stroke.
The following specifications apply to all Glideforce GF01 series linear actuators:
For more details, see the GF01 Linear Actuator Datasheet (1MB pdf).
Diagrams of the linear actuators are shown below. For more detailed information, including the retracted and extended lengths of each version, see the datasheet.
Dimensions of Glideforce GF01 micro series linear actuators. Units are mm.
The GF01 actuators have a 300 mm (12″) cable with two unterminated, stripped power leads as shown in the picture below.
Unterminated wire ends for Glideforce GF01 micro linear actuators.
To test-drive the actuator, simply connect a power source of up to 12 V to the motor leads. Reversing the applied voltage will reverse the direction of motion. A motor controller or motor driver is required for electronic speed and direction control. We recommend our Motoron motor controllers, though many of our other motor controllers and motor drivers are capable of powering this actuator.
