Review on πŸ”Œ WindyNation Actuators Connectors: Enhancing Convenience with Momentary Maintained Functionality by Jerimiah Augustine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

slow but powerful for Linear Motion products

I used these actuators to automate a pull out bed in my van to convert a sofa to a bed. I like the addition a lot. Very easy to connect, easy to install and makes sense. The only thing I would change is the blue and green wire. They didn't really make sense to me, but I just lined up the blue with black and the red with green and the motor worked as intended (up [towards blue/green wire] pushes the drives and vice versa down [towards red and black wires] pushes the actuators in.) You can change this by swapping the wires, but it's not entirely clear to me. I have tested the actuators and they move quite slowly (about 30-45 seconds for a 16 inch movement) but overall I am very happy with how they are doing the job I have given them. Would definitely buy again (and probably will for my next van conversion.)

Pros
  • Includes 2 x 12V linear actuators (selectable stroke length), 1 x DPDT up/down switch and 2 x steel brackets with fasteners.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
