An actuator. They used small 12 volt DC ones on the old big satellite dishes in the 80's to turn the satellite dishes. I used one to lift and lower my 3 point hitch on my John Deere 110 back in the 90's. They are great for projects..
I have a couple of those that I got off a hospital bed and thought I would use them on a hoya lift to lift the rear end of riding mowers, but the motors didn't have enough umph to lift them, so now I am going to mount part of it on my work bench to lift one end of the push mowers (I hope).
The Shade Tree Fix-it Man This mounts in the pipe with the 2 metal shoes on the plastic threaded part so It will slip if it has to much force put on it
belgrademachine I have a few Ideas for this It is designed so the threaded plastic bushing will slip if it has to much force applied to it pushing or pulling the pipe part also there are pins limiting the travel to about 1 foot
I'm a little tardy to the party lol, but it's called a linear actuator. I just started playing around with them the last month or so. There's endless applications for them. What did you end up doing with this one?
I still have it sitting in the corner of the shop ...Wish I had filmed how I made it run in each direction ..It is easy to wire and I should have a switch that will work
Your voice sounds like John Wayne! I am needing to operate an electric hospital bed on 12 volt DC affordably. What do you suggest? Also is this the type of motor they use on rolling metal window shutters?
I have the same motor and trying to figure out how it works. There are three wires going to the motor, right? A red, black and white one. Could you tell me how you connected these to get the motor running and changing the direction? I do not want to break mine and you already have figured out how it works. Maybe you can give a hint?

Jonathan W I would like to find some 12 volt ones for projects The 3 point hitch would be a good project for my JD112

I can see how that would come in handy. I'm sure you'll figure out a good use for it.
RamblinAround I have a few Ideas But haven't decided on what i will make
looking forward to see what you make with that. I'm seeing a single glass apple cider press :)

There's all kinds of things that would be great for!
***** I have an idea to hook it up to a screw jack off an RV
How much power does this engine have, please?

I've got a small one from a treadmill....I just can't seem to toss it away...
savagenomore I have had this one for several years I have got to use it on something

You can buy an inverter that hooks to a 12v car battery and you can run 110 volt things on it ..I do not know about the shutter motors

Sorry I do not have it anymore
Look like my neighbours wheel chair lift.
Bruce Pender It could be some of the same parts that the company used
So is the motor ac not DC?
