## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-4465:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-4465:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Glideforce GF01 series is a set of micro-sized linear actuators from Concentric International weighing between 30 g and 60 g, depending on the stroke length. They consist of small 12V DC gearmotors that drive a lead screw to move a shaft back and forth, turning the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion of the shaft. The shaft will hold its position even when unpowered and subjected to static loads up to 4 kgf \[9 lb or 40 N\]. Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while integrated diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point if the supplied voltage is reversed. The actuators have an aluminum extension tube and inner tube with a plastic case and end-cap, and the entire case is sealed to protect against dust and water (rated IP66).

**Using the actuator**

The GF01 actuators have a 300 mm (12") cable with two unterminated, stripped power leads as shown in the picture below.

| [![](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J13698.350.jpg?f5bbdb8e4a0c85292633f858da3194a6)](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J13698.1200.jpg?f5bbdb8e4a0c85292633f858da3194a6) |
|---|
| Unterminated wire ends for Glideforce GF01 micro linear actuators. |

To test-drive the actuator, simply connect a power source of up to 12 V to the motor leads. Reversing the applied voltage will reverse the direction of motion. A [motor controller](https://core-electronics.com.au/components/motors/dc-motors.html) or [motor driver](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-boards-and-modules/motor-drivers-controllers/brushed-dc-motor-drivers.html) is required for electronic speed and direction control. Pololu recommend Pololu's [Motoron](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/289/motoron-motor-controllers) motor controllers, though many of Pololu's other motor controllers and motor drivers are capable of powering this actuator.

**Notes:**

1This represents the maximum in-rush current when starting a stationary actuator. These actuators are NOT intended to be stalled, and they will not stall as long as maximum load ratings are respected.2This is a dynamic load rating. The actuator is rated to withstand 9 lbs when not moving.**File downloads**
