Actuator direct dc voltage?

I was wondering if I can take the 6volt actuator and connect it to a battery to make it run verses using the unit in an airplane etc. I need it for a project on a small scale and hope to just run a forward reverse polarity switch to make it run .

Hello @Twocanchew102,

Welcome to RobotShop community.

You can connect the linear actuator to a battery directly and use a rocker switch to change the direction.
