Weighing just 22 grams with a 20mm stroke, it delivers up to 50N (~5 kg) of force thanks to its 100:1 gear ratio — making it one of the most powerful actuators of its size.\n\nThe PQ12-R series operates as a direct drop-in replacement for standard rotary servos, using the same 3-wire connector (ground, power, control). Whether driven by an RC receiver, Arduino, or other microcontroller, the PQ12-R provides linear motion where a rotary servo would normally go.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nServo Interface – Standard 3-wire PWM connection, drop-in replacement for rotary servos\n\n100:1 Gear Ratio – Maximum lifting force of 50N (~5 kg)\n\nCompact & Lightweight – Just 22 grams with a 20mm stroke\n\nHigh Precision – ±0.1mm positional repeatability\n\nIP-54 Rated – Protected against dust and water splashes\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nGear Ratio: 100:1\n\nStroke: 20mm\n\nInput Voltage: 6V DC\n\nStall Current: 550mA @ 6V\n\nPeak Power Point: 40N @ 6mm/s\n\nPeak Efficiency Point: 20N @ 8mm/s\n\nMax Speed (no load): 10mm/s\n\nMax Force (lifted): 50N\n\nMax Side Load: 10N\n\nBack Drive Force: 35N\n\nMass: 22g\n\nOperating Temperature: -10°C to +50°C\n\nPositional Repeatability: ±0.1mm\n\nMechanical Backlash: 0.25mm\n\nAudible Noise: 55dB @ 45cm\n\nIngress Protection: IP-54\n\nMaximum Duty Cycle: 20%\n\nPWM Signal: Fully retracted 2.0ms / Fully extended 1.0ms @ 50Hz\n\n\n\nTip: While rated for 6V DC, this actuator has been tested to work at 5V with reduced force and speed — handy for direct Arduino-powered projects.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRobotics and prosthetics\nRC and hobby projects\nArduino servo replacement (linear motion)\nMedical and simulation applications\nCompact mechanical prototyping\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× PQ12-100-6-R Micro-Actuator\n1× Mounting Hardware Kit\n\n\nResources\n\nDatasheet (PDF)\nShaft Revision ECN (PDF)\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":3126,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-ROB-18591","price":377.65,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":44,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
