VEVOR linear actuators provide smooth, controlled straight-line motion for lifting, pushing, and positioning in your automation, machinery, and DIY projects. From modest 4-inch strokes to a long 40-inch reach, from 1000N to a monstrous 9000N force rating, from speeds as fast as 0.6 inches per second, and from IP44 to IP65 waterproof sealing, the range has it all. All units are 12V and come with mounting brackets, so they fit electric doors, lift desks, hospital beds, yachts, or industrial rigs. We have something for you, whatever you need to move in a line.
Lifting a TV, opening a hefty gate, driving a machine with precise, repeatable travel? VEVOR linear actuators are powered by 12V, delivering powerful and precise linear motion with a stroke from 4 inches to 40 inches and a force up to 9000N. Whether you're automating a workshop, creating a robot, or fitting out a boat, these tough, bracket-ready modules provide the reach, push, and control your project demands.
Stroke determines how far the rod travels, and force determines how much load it can handle; thus, the first and most crucial step is to nail both to your work.
Shorter strokes work well for compact, close-quarters work and fit into tight spaces. VEVOR's 4 inch linear actuator and 6 inch linear actuator can power lift desks, recliner chairs, and window openers. They can travel at 0.6 inches per second while still pushing 1000N to 1500N, depending on the model.
Step up to the 8 inch linear actuator for greater travel on larger hatches, flaps, or minor lift mechanisms without adding much bulk. These sizes are ideal for furniture automation, hobby robotics, and vent/damper control on benches and enclosures when every bit of space matters.
The short-stroke linear actuators are the easiest to conceal within a cabinet or frame, keeping the mechanism clean and out of sight. All come with a mounting bracket for a quick, robust installation.
If your project needs a few inches of movement, a short-stroke model keeps the footprint small, the response rapid, and the wiring simple, making it the obvious starting point for most light automation setups. These compact linear actuators draw little current, so they pair well with small batteries and simple switch controls.
Many practical tasks are in the middle of the range. You also have the 10 inch linear actuator and 12 inch linear actuator to cover electric doors, larger lids, and machine adjustments. VEVOR makes them in a heavy-duty 6000N build rated to shift 1320 pounds.
Want a little extra mileage out of the same muscle? The 14 inch linear actuator and 16 inch linear actuator provide enough travel for larger gates, trapdoors, and industrial covers while still delivering considerable pushing power.
These mid-stroke linear actuators are the all-rounders of the series, balancing reach and force with a reasonable retracted length; the high-load 1500N models move at 0.19 inches per second for controlled, intentional movement under load.
Most gate, hatch, and machinery work that requires actual travel falls into the 10- to 16-inch stroke range, which strikes a sweet spot without going to extremes. This group covers many popular builds really well. If you need tighter clearances, get the shorter one; if you want optimum mid-range reach, use the 16-inch.
When a project calls for real extension, long-stroke alternatives are available. The 18 inch linear actuator and 20 inch linear actuatorare ideal for tall lift columns, skylight openers, and cargo coverings, with the waterproof 20-inch model capable of pushing 3000N for exposed outdoor applications.
The 30 inch linear actuator and 40 inch linear actuator take it to the next level for maximum reach, ideal for TV lifts, giant couch and table mechanisms, and tall industrial travel. The 30-inch version is available as a two-piece set for synchronized, level lifting on wide furniture and panels.
These large linear actuators extend far yet stay controlled, giving you long travel without sacrificing precision. The 40-inch unit is IP65-rated, weatherproof, and sealed for rooftop and maritime installations.
If your design calls for long, clean extension, from a hidden TV raise to a lofty gate, these long-stroke linear actuators go where the shorter units just can't, opening up an entire class of adventurous projects. Before you commit to the longest strokes, make sure your mounting points will accommodate the whole retracted body length.
The second side of the equation is the force capacity. Reach doesn't mean much if the actuator can't move the weight. VEVOR's high force linear actuators range from 1000N for light furniture to a daunting 9000N, or almost 2023 pounds, for industrial machines and heavy-lifting systems.
A rating of 1000N to 1500N will cope with the load with plenty of leeway for most household and light business applications. For gates, heavy lids, and machine work, a 3000N to 6000N unit provides the confident push you need.
The 9000N class heavy-duty linear actuator is actually built for tough environments, such as warships, large freight, and demanding production environments where you cannot tolerate a breakdown. If there is one rule that keeps these actuators running reliably for years, it’s this: don't size them right at the edge of what you need.
The secret to keeping linear actuators functioning for years and years consistently is simple: force equals weight. Balance your load, allow some headroom, and choose a newton rating that much exceeds your requirement instead of barely clearing it. One other thing to note – faster actuators tend to sacrifice some force, so think carefully about whether you want speed or push, as you rarely get both at full intensity.
Size and strength matter, but what makes a unit easy to adapt to your setup and surroundings is how it's powered and what extras it has.
12V Linear Actuators use a common 12V DC source, the same as your car battery, solar setup, or any of the many other systems you may already have in place. That alone makes hooking into an existing wiring arrangement a cinch.
Each unit is an electric linear actuator. So control is straightforward: reverse polarity to extend or retract. A simple on-off switch, rocker, or remote does the trick. No hydraulics, no air lines, nothing hard to pipe. VEVOR even sells matching toggle and rocker switches if you need to close the circuit.
The housings are completely sealed so you can mount them however you want. The horizontal linear actuator design is just as good as the vertical one, and you’re not stuck with one orientation. That’s the kind of flexibility you want when building around an existing structure or a tight location.
When you’re adding motion to a car, a workshop setup, or a home automation project, 12V is a really nice voltage to work with. It’s easier to wire, safer to test, and much less daunting than mains. These units show up in so many maker and professional projects because the barrier to entry is low, and the results speak for themselves.
Special features make an actuator work in a particular environment, not just in general. The Waterproof Linear Actuator with IP65 sealing handles rain and spray, making it ideal for boats, gates, and rooftop applications. IP44 and IP54 variants are less rugged and better suited to indoor or covered installations.
Speed is a matter of course. A high-speed linear actuator that travels from 0.55 to 0.6 inches per second works well for applications like standing workstations and adjustable furniture when you want snappy movement. Slower units, about 0.19 inches per second, sacrifice pace for more controlled, heavier lifts.
A linear actuator kit like the two-piece 30-inch set removes much of the guesswork from plug-and-play setups. It comes with a wireless remote, mounting brackets, and a ready-to-use lifting actuator right out of the box, handy if you want to synchronize TV lifts, tables, or sofa mechanisms without having to source parts separately.
Choose the actuator based on three factors: the level of protection your environment requires, the speed your application requires, and which accessories will save you setup time. Think about them before you buy. With the right mix, VEVOR linear actuators fit everything from a peaceful residential elevator to a hardworking marine deck without compromise.

Some are. IP65 versions are weatherproof for outdoor, gate, and marine applications; IP44 and IP54 units suit indoor or protected environments. Check the protection rating against your environment before purchase.
All versions operate on 12V DC and extend or retract by simply reversing polarity with a switch, rocker, or remote. Matching toggle and rocker switches are available, and some packages include a wireless remote.
