Whether you’re automating a smart home device, building a robotic prototype, or designing an industrial control solution, Burk.pk’s 12V Linear Actuator with Hall Sensor gives you the precision, customization, and reliability you need. 12 volt linear actuator is used in automation and many other roboticcs applications as well.

12 volt linear actutator combines mechanical strength, sensor-based position feedback, and custom configuration options — all in a durable, ready-to-use package. 12 volt linear actuator is ideal for automation enthusiasts, engineering students, industrial designers, and product developers in Pakistan, this actuator supports a wide range of applications while offering performance you can trust.

What is a 12V Linear Actuator with Hall Sensor?

A linear actuator is a motor-driven device that converts rotational motion into straight-line motion — pushing or pulling loads along a fixed path. 12 volt linear actuator  is essential in applications where controlled linear motion is required, such as lifting, sliding, tilting, or adjusting mechanical components.

12 volt linear actuator operates on DC, making it compatible with most microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and motor drivers such as the L298N, BTS7960, and H-bridge modules.

The built-in Hall Effect sensor acts as a magnetic encoder that sends pulses during operation, allowing precise tracking of actuator position, speed, and movement direction — critical for feedback control systems and position-based automation.

Key Specifications & Options:

You can order this actuator in custom stroke lengths (e.g., 100mm, 200mm, 500mm) and custom speed ranges as per your project needs. Reach out to Burk’s support team to finalize your requirements before ordering.

Why Use a Hall Sensor Actuator?

Linear actuators without feedback sensors operate blindly — they can only move for a specified time or until mechanically stopped. In contrast, an actuator with a Hall Effect sensor allows:

• Precise position tracking
• Closed-loop control using microcontrollers or PLCs
• Speed monitoring and adjustment
• Repeatable motion with minimal calibration

This is especially important for applications like robot arms, solar trackers, automated furniture, or camera sliders, where knowing the actuator’s position is critical for performance and safety.

Applications of the 12 volt linear Actuator

Thanks to its power and flexibility, this actuator can be used in a wide range of domains:

Home Automation

• Smart adjustable beds, sofas, recliners
• Kitchen lifts, hidden compartments
• Motorized blinds and windows

Industrial and Agricultural Use

• Conveyor diverters and sorters
• Precision feeders or sprayers
• Load lifters and panel adjusters

Solar Panel Systems

• Dual-axis solar trackers (East-West & North-South)
• Tilt mechanisms for seasonal sun angle optimization

Robotics and Mechatronics

• Robotic arms with position tracking
• Prosthetics, grippers, autonomous payload lifters
• CNC Z-axis lifters or tool changers

Medical and Lab Equipment

• Patient lift chairs, lab table adjusters
• Linear motion platforms for medical automation

Whatever your application, the Hall sensor enables smart integration and higher reliability, especially when paired with programmable controllers.

 What You Get in 12 Volt linear actuator 

• 1x Fully assembled 12V Linear Actuator with Hall Sensor
• Built-in wiring for power and sensor output
• Mounting holes/ends for easy installation
• Optional: Custom connectors, brackets, or control board (upon request)

How to Use 12 Volt linear actuator in Projects

Basic Wiring:

• Red & Black: Power (12V)
• Yellow & White: Hall sensor signal outputs (pulse A and pulse B)

Control Options:

• Use reversing relay circuits or motor drivers to control direction.
• Connect Hall output pins to interrupt pins on your Arduino for precise position tracking.
• For automatic control, use pulse counting algorithms in your code to stop or reverse movement after a defined number of pulses.

Example:
If your actuator gives 1000 pulses per 100mm stroke, you can write a sketch that stops the actuator after 500 pulses to reach the midpoint.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I customize the stroke length and speed?
Yes! You can request a custom stroke length (e.g., 150mm, 600mm) and choose between slow or fast speeds, depending on your project requirements.

2. Is 12 volt linear actuator compatible with Arduino?
Absolutely. It works well with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and other microcontrollers. We provide sample code too.

3. What is the Hall Sensor used for?
The Hall Sensor provides pulse-based position feedback, allowing you to measure how far the actuator has moved.

4. How do I reverse the actuator direction?
You can reverse polarity using a DPDT switch, relay module, or an H-bridge driver like BTS7960.

5. Does it come with brackets or mounts?
No, mounting brackets are optional but available upon request. Contact us for accessories.

6. What happens if the actuator is overloaded?
It includes overload protection. Additionally, we recommend using current-limiting circuits for safety.
