HR61 Small Electric Linear Actuator OEM Precision Motion Control for Compact Systems

HR61 small electric linear actuator for compact OEM motion

The HR61 Small Electric Linear Actuator is built for OEM projects that need short, quiet, low-voltage linear motion in a tight space. It suits smart furniture, compact automation, access panels, light medical-equipment modules, adjustable fixtures, display movement, and small industrial devices where a large actuator would be hard to fit.

For sourcing teams, the HR61 sits naturally in ActuLift’s Micro & Mini Linear Actuators range. It can be specified for 6V, 12V, or 24V DC systems, which gives engineering teams more room to match the actuator to the product’s existing power design. Buyers comparing low-voltage options can also review ActuLift’s 12V Linear Actuators and 24V Linear Actuators categories.

This is a small actuator, so the buying decision should be practical. Check the load, stroke, mounting distance, cable route, duty cycle, and noise target before locking the sample. A clean specification at the start prevents the usual back-and-forth later.

Product specifications

Built for small spaces, quiet rooms, and real product layouts

HR61 is useful when the product has a small motion task and limited room for the drive unit. Examples include small lift covers, cabinet movement, compact medical-adjacent devices, smart home modules, light automation fixtures, and robotics or inspection equipment.

The maximum load range is 50N to 150N, so this model is best for light-duty movement. If the application has shock load, long unsupported arms, outdoor exposure, or strong side pressure, do not choose only by size. Review the load path with ActuLift before ordering samples. For heavier motion projects, compare the requirement with a heavy-duty actuator family instead.

The listed speed options, 5.5 / 11 / 22 mm/s, help buyers match motion feel to the product. A slow movement can feel better in quiet furniture or medical-adjacent equipment. A faster option may suit a small panel or light automation device. The right answer depends on load, stroke, power supply, and the user’s tolerance for sound.

Custom travel length from 10mm to 300mm

The HR61 travel length can be customized from 10mm to 300mm. That range gives OEM teams room to match the actuator to a real product envelope instead of forcing the product around a fixed stroke.

When you request a quote, include the required travel length, retracted length target if available, mounting position, bracket type, connector, cable length, voltage, speed target, and annual forecast. If the actuator needs to ship as part of a motion set, add Brackets & Mountings to the same discussion. A small actuator with the wrong bracket can still fail the layout, even when the motor spec looks right.

For controlled movement, ask whether the actuator will connect to a simple polarity-reversing switch, a control box, or a larger equipment controller. ActuLift’s Control Boxes & Controllers category is a useful place to plan the electrical side before the sample is built.

Protection, temperature, and compliance notes

The standard HR61 protection level is IP43, with IP66 available upon request. In plain terms, IP ratings describe enclosure protection against solid objects and water exposure under defined test conditions. IP43 is better suited to protected environments. IP66 should be reviewed when the actuator may face stronger dust or water exposure.

Do not treat the IP66 option as a small line item added after the design is finished. It can affect sealing, lead time, testing, and cost. If the project needs a sealed motion unit, compare the requirement with ActuLift’s Waterproof Linear Actuators category early.

The working temperature range is -20 deg C to +60 deg C. That covers many indoor and protected-equipment use cases, but it should still be checked against the real product environment, especially near heaters, sunlight, cold storage, outdoor cabinets, or sealed housings.

HR61 is listed as CE and RoHS compliant. For buyers, that is useful for document planning. It should not be overstated. CE marking is a manufacturer declaration for applicable EU requirements, not an EU safety approval. RoHS relates to restrictions on certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

OEM procurement checklist

Before bulk production, a good HR61 buying brief should answer these points:

• Required voltage: 6V, 12V, or 24V DC
• Load at the actuator, including margin
• Stroke length from 10mm to 300mm
• Speed choice: 5.5 / 11 / 22 mm/s
• Standard IP43 or requested IP66 protection
• Working temperature target
• Noise target and test condition
• Cable length, connector, and controller plan
• Bracket style and mounting direction
• Sample quantity, annual forecast, packing needs, and compliance document request

This kind of brief saves time. It also helps both teams catch small issues before they turn into a tooling or assembly problem.

FAQs for wholesale and OEM buyers

What voltage options does HR61 support?

HR61 supports 6V / 12V / 24V DC input. Choose the voltage based on your product power system, controller design, cable length, and current planning.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The listed maximum load capacity is 50N-150N, or about 11-33 pounds. Confirm the load direction and mechanical leverage before sample approval.

Can the travel length be customized?

Yes. The listed travel length is 10mm-300mm, customizable. Include your target stroke and mounting distance when requesting drawings or samples.

Is HR61 waterproof?

The standard protection level is IP43. IP66 is available upon request. If the product may face water jets, outdoor dust, or cleaning exposure, confirm the IP66 requirement before the sample stage.

How quiet is HR61?

The listed noise level is less than 45 dB, described as a quiet library environment. Test noise again in the final product because brackets, panels, and mounting surfaces can change the sound.

What accessories should be quoted with HR61?

For most OEM projects, quote the actuator together with brackets, connectors, cable length, and the control method. If the user interface matters, include remote controls or handsets in the project review.

Why this product works well

HR61 works well for OEM buyers who need a small, quiet DC actuator with clear specification choices. Its 6V / 12V / 24V input options, 50N-150N load range, 10mm-300mm custom travel, IP43 standard protection, IP66 upgrade path, and less than 45 dB noise target make it practical for compact products where fit, sound, and sample accuracy matter.
