L12-R Micro Linear Servo 100mm 210:1 6V

The L12-R series of small linear servos operate as a direct replacement for standard rotary servos. They use the same standard 3 wire connector, ground power and control. Regardless of how you drive your servos, be it with an RC receiver, an Arduino board, or a VEX micro-controller, the L12-R servo will function in place of a regular rotary servo, but gives you the added benefit of linear motion. 

Thsi is the famous linear micro motor from Actuanix. The L12-R series of small linear servos operate as a direct replacement for standard rotary servos. They use the same standard 3 wire connector, ground power and control. Regardless of how you drive your servos, be it with an RC receiver, an Arduino board, or a VEX micro-controller, the L12-R servo will function in place of a regular rotary servo, but gives you the added benefit of linear motion. L12 line are constructed using an anodized aluminum shaft, metal gearbox, brass screw and steel ball bearings. These quality linear servos are not only built to last, but will look great on your models. 

It's small size and light weight make the L12-R ideal for airborne RC models, as well as robotics and RC projects.

Available in 6V only to ensure compatibility with RC receivers.

NOTE: The L12 will not operate plug-and-play with Futaba receivers such as the R6014FS that output 2.7 volts. You will need a Smart Fly Power Expander or Orbit Power Jack to bring the signal level up to 5VDC for the L12 to operate properly.

The Actuonix L12 Actuator 100mm 210:1 6V PLC/RC Control combines the best features of manufacturer's existing micro actuator families into a highly flexible, configurable and compact platform. It is an axial design which utilizes a powerful PMDC motor and a rectangular cross section for increased strength. It is designed for use within cost-sensitive high-volume OEM products, such as consumer appliances, robots and toys.

Actuonix's unique line of Miniature Linear Actuators enables a new generation of motion-enabled product designs, with capabilities that have never before been combined in a device of this size. This small linear actuator is a superior alternative to designing with awkward gears, motors, servos and linkages. The first member of the L series, the L12, is an axial design with a powerful drivetrain and a rectangular cross section for increased rigidity. But by far the most attractive feature of this actuator is the broad spectrum of available configurations.
