IP40X Compact Linear Actuator Supplier | Precision Motion for Tight Spaces

Compact 1000N motion for OEM equipment

The IP40X Compact Linear Actuator is built for equipment teams that need useful force in a small DC actuator package. Based on the listed specifications, it supports 12V/24V DC input, a maximum load capacity of 1000N (224 lbs), and travel lengths from 50mm to 300mm. That gives buyers a practical range for compact automation, smart furniture, lab equipment, inspection fixtures, small machinery, and other OEM projects where space is tight but the motion still has to feel steady.

For a procurement team, the value is simple: the IP40X gives you a defined actuator platform before you start asking for samples, brackets, wiring, controller options, or bulk pricing. If your product line already uses low-voltage DC systems, the 12V/24V option can help your engineers match the actuator to the existing power architecture. For 24V-focused projects, start with ActuLift’s 24V linear actuators category. For 12V systems, the 12V linear actuators page is the closer fit.

Product specifications

Where this actuator fits

IP40X is a good candidate when the design brief includes controlled linear movement, limited installation space, and moderate load demand. Think adjustable equipment panels, small lifting or pushing mechanisms, compact industrial automation modules, lab fixtures, smart furniture mechanisms, cabinet movement, robotics subassemblies, or medical equipment integration where the final device team still needs to complete its own safety and regulatory review.

The 1000N load rating gives the product more headroom than many micro actuator projects need, but it is still a compact actuator. That matters. If the application has heavy shock load, long unsupported travel, outdoor exposure, or aggressive side force, compare the project with ActuLift’s heavy duty linear actuators instead of choosing by size alone. For buyers focused on small envelopes, the micro and mini linear actuators category is the right place to compare related compact options.

What buyers should confirm before ordering

Start with load, stroke, speed, voltage, mounting direction, and duty cycle. Those details decide whether the actuator only looks right on paper or actually works inside the equipment. The IP40X lists 15mm/s at no load and 10mm/s at full load, so engineers should check whether the loaded speed fits the user’s real cycle time. A slow actuator can feel stable, but it may be wrong for a fast production fixture.

The travel range is 50mm to 300mm and customizable. Before sample order, define the exact stroke, retracted length target, extended length target, mounting hole style, cable direction, connector preference, and controller plan. If the actuator must work with a control box, synchronized motion system, handset, or remote operation, review ActuLift’s control boxes and controllers early. Matching the electrical system after the mechanical design is frozen is where a neat project can turn awkward.

Mounting also deserves care. A compact actuator can fail early if the bracket layout forces side load into the rod. For fixture, panel, and mechanism projects, pair the actuator selection with suitable brackets and mountings so the load path stays clean through the full stroke.

IP54, noise, and compliance notes

The IP40X is listed with IP54 protection. In plain language, this supports dustproof and splash proof planning for many indoor or protected equipment designs. It should not be sold as a fully waterproof actuator. If the product will face rain, washdown, standing water, or outdoor temperature swings, ask for the exact installation guidance and compare it with a higher-protection actuator family.

The listed noise level is less than 50 decibels, described as a quiet office environment. That makes the IP40X useful for products where loud motor movement would make the equipment feel rough or cheap. Still, final noise in the customer’s product depends on mounting, load, frame vibration, speed, and enclosure design.

Certification is listed as CE, RoHS, and ISO 9001. For B2B buying, treat those as document items to request during supplier review. Ask for the relevant declaration, test report, quality-system certificate, and model-level scope where applicable. That keeps the page honest and gives your purchasing team something they can check before moving from sample approval to bulk production.

OEM and wholesale advantages

For OEM and wholesale buyers, the IP40X is not just a part number. It is a compact motion platform that can be adjusted around stroke length, voltage choice, mounting approach, controller pairing, and application requirements. That makes it useful for product families where one actuator design may need several stroke versions across different models.

The best inquiry is specific. Send the target load, stroke, voltage, speed expectation, working angle, duty cycle, required quantity, controller needs, drawing, and environment notes. With that information, ActuLift can confirm whether IP40X is the right fit or whether another actuator family makes more sense. It saves time on both sides, and it reduces the risk of approving a sample that later needs rework.

Why this product works well

IP40X works well for OEM buyers who need a compact 12V/24V DC actuator with 1000N force, customizable 50mm-300mm travel, IP54 protection, and quiet operation under 50 dB. It gives engineers a clear starting point for small automation systems while leaving room to confirm brackets, controllers, wiring, documents, and bulk-order details before production.
