WindyNation (2pcs) 12 Volt, 225 lbs Linear Actuators + Up Down DPDT Switch + Mounting Brackets + Connectors (Momentary or Maintained Up Down Switch) (8" Linear Actuator, Momentary Switch)

I used these actuators to automate my pull out bed in my van to convert from a couch to a bed. I absolutely love the addition. Super easy to wire, easy to install, and made sense. The only thing I would have changed were the blue and green wires. They didn't really make sense to me, but I just lined up the blue to the black and the red to the green and the motor worked out how I intended (up [towards the blue/green wires] pushes the actuators out, and conversely down [towards the red and black wires] pushes the actuators in.) You can modify this by switching the wires around, but that didn't really make sense to me. I tested the actuators and they move pretty slow (about 30-45 seconds to move 16") but all in all, I'm pretty happy that they are doing the job that I installed them for. Would definitely buy again (and probably will for my next van conversion.)

bought these to build a table tilt for the wifes Dewalt scroll saw. She likes it tilted because it is easier on her neck and shoulders and she can see the work better that way.Comes with everything but the power supply.I used 2 of these for the table because it was easier to distribute the weight this way. It also kept the table nice and sturdy and no extra vibration.There was a slight difference in the speeds at which they lift and lower (not a weight distribution problem) when tested with no load. After installing there was no change due to the load and the speeds were close enough not to cause any problems. So far, so good.

Worked first couple days the ends on pistons popped off

These arrived on time and work well. I purchased the 16" version The main problem is you can get them direct from Windy Nation for about $60-00 less and free shipping!

I would of given these units a 5 star but they are so loud. I use them to lift a mid section of a cart that is maybe 100lbs at most so these units do it with easy. Every time I lift the mid section of my cart everyone looks and comments on how loud they are. Currently looking for another company they makes quieter actuators.

Used to raise my home maid shovel bucket on my lawn tractor. One unit by itself was struggling to lift a full load but two seems to work fine.

Rather slow but raises & lowers my quad plow on the cheap !

These are pretty powerful actuators yes they are a little noisy well they're running but I think that it's expected it's not like they're used all the time, I used this sets for a custom queen size bed frame so it could lift automatically
