IP80 24V Linear Actuator OEM Supplier | Precision Motion Control for Compact Applications

IP80 24V linear actuator for compact motion projects

The IP80 24V Linear Actuator is a small electric actuator for OEM equipment that needs controlled linear movement without a large drive unit. It is built around a 24V DC input, with 12V available when the buyer’s power architecture calls for it. The rated push/pull load is 200N, or about 45 pounds, which puts it in the light-duty compact actuator range.

That spec profile makes sense for applications such as smart furniture adjustment, automatic vent or window movement, compact industrial fixtures, access panels, small medical equipment mechanisms, and solar tracking modules where the actuator moves a light load at a controlled pace. It is not the actuator to choose when the real need is heavy lifting. It is the actuator to check when the project needs short travel, quiet movement, and a small installation envelope.

For buyers comparing ActuLift categories, this model belongs naturally with 24V linear actuators and compact OEM motion projects. If the same system needs a sealed configuration, the optional IP65 version can also be reviewed alongside ActuLift’s waterproof linear actuators. For heavier loads, the buyer should move the comparison toward heavy duty linear actuators instead of forcing a compact model into the wrong job.

Product specifications

What the 200N rating means for procurement

A 200N push/pull rating is useful when the mechanism is light, balanced, and properly guided. In real projects, buyers should not look at the load number alone. Stroke length, bracket geometry, moving angle, friction, side load, duty cycle, and controller output all affect whether the actuator will feel smooth in a finished device.

For sample approval, ask engineering to confirm the actual moving load, the worst operating angle, and the force needed at startup. If the moving structure binds, even a correct load rating may not save the mechanism. A clean mechanical path matters.

The IP80 also has four optional speed choices: 4, 8, 15, and 30mm/s. Slower speeds usually help when the buyer wants controlled adjustment or low mechanical shock. Faster speeds help when the motion cycle needs to finish quickly. The right choice depends on the finished equipment, not on a speed number that looks good in a catalog.

Compact design with 10mm to 200mm custom travel

The IP80 supports travel lengths from 10mm to 200mm. That short-stroke range is practical for small equipment where a long actuator would create packaging problems. Buyers can use it for small doors, guided panels, shutters, small lifting or tilting structures, compact solar tracking movement, furniture modules, and enclosure automation.

When requesting a quote, include the target stroke, retracted length if known, mounting direction, cable direction, speed preference, voltage, and expected load. If your team has a CAD file or installation drawing, send it early. It saves time because the supplier can check whether the actuator, bracket, and moving structure have enough clearance.

For projects that need brackets or pivot hardware, pair the actuator discussion with brackets and mountings. For systems that need hand operation or multi-actuator logic, review control boxes and controllers and remote controls and handsets before locking the sample.

Standard IP42 with optional IP65

The standard IP42 version is a practical fit for many indoor or protected installations. For dustier spaces, outdoor-adjacent equipment, or equipment exposed to occasional spray, the optional IP65 version should be discussed during the quotation stage.

Here is the plain version: do not treat IP65 as permission to ignore the rest of the design. Cable exits, connectors, mounting angle, cleaning method, duty cycle, and enclosure design still matter. IEC IP ratings describe defined enclosure protection tests. They do not replace final-equipment validation.

For B2B buyers, the safer purchasing question is not “is it waterproof?” It is “which protection grade matches our exact environment, and can we get the documents for this configuration?” That wording keeps the project honest.

Quiet operation for equipment used near people

The listed acoustic characteristic is less than 45 dB, described as similar to a quiet library environment. That matters in healthcare equipment, office furniture, small automation modules, and home-furniture mechanisms where movement happens close to people.

Noise still depends on the complete mechanism. A quiet actuator can sound rough if the frame resonates, the bracket is loose, or the load is not guided. During sample testing, run the actuator inside the real structure when possible. Bench testing is useful, but it does not tell the whole story.

If the buyer is building a people-facing product line, this model should be tested inside the finished structure, with the real bracket and enclosure, before sample approval.

OEM customization and compliance checks

The IP80 is positioned for bulk wholesale and customizable OEM projects. Buyers can discuss voltage choice, travel length, speed, protection level, mounting style, wiring, and controller pairing. For distributor or private-label programs, the practical next step is a controlled sample order with an agreed spec sheet.

Before mass production, confirm these items:

1. Stroke length, retracted length, and mounting hole layout.
2. Voltage, current draw, controller compatibility, and cable length.
3. Speed option under the expected load.
4. Standard IP42 or optional IP65 protection grade.
5. Duty-cycle expectation and thermal limits.
6. CE/RoHS declarations or reports for the ordered configuration.

CE and RoHS language should stay precise. The product is listed as compliant with CE and RoHS standards, so buyers should request the current documents for import review, tender files, or distributor onboarding. If the actuator becomes part of a larger finished device, the final equipment may need its own compliance assessment.

Suggested buyer brief for quotation

For a faster quote, send a short technical brief instead of only asking for price. A useful version looks like this:

• Product: IP80 24V Linear Actuator
• Voltage: 24V DC, or 12V if required
• Load: target moving load and direction
• Stroke: 10mm to 200mm, with exact travel requested
• Speed: 4/8/15/30mm/s preferred option
• Protection: IP42 standard or IP65 optional
• Environment: indoor, protected outdoor, dust, splash, temperature range
• Control: controller, switch, handset, or system board
• Quantity: sample quantity and expected bulk order range
• Documents: data sheet, drawing, CE/RoHS files, and test requirements

This kind of brief gives the supplier enough information to respond with something useful. It also reduces the chance of approving a sample that looks right on the bench but fails once mounted in the finished product.

Why this product works well

The IP80 24V Linear Actuator fits OEM projects that need quiet, short-stroke movement in a compact package. Its 200N push/pull rating, 10mm to 200mm custom travel, optional speeds, and IP42/IP65 protection choices give buyers room to tune the actuator to the device instead of redesigning the device around a bulky drive.
