Interesting idea. I’ve overvolted trolling motors before, but never an actuator motor. I imagine it’s similar… it can prob handle it but if the voltage goes beyond the service factor, it’ll overheat. No telling what the service factor is on these cheap actuator motors, but I don’t think it would last long above 1.5. So I might try running them at 24v just to see what happens under a heat gun, but I suspect it may damage them. If I can’t get up to 24v, I don’t think I’ll want to bother with a boost converter to hit somewhere in between.
You could also up the voltage on the actuator from the research I have been running across???
