Thanks for this video. I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the wiring for the motor on this. BIG help!
You're welcome!
Well done. the graphic with the current flow between the two relays was very helpful.

Just to clarify, there are number of ways to control a linear actuator. Including L298N and other h bridge chips. However there are current limit. With this method your current is only limited to what ever power these relay is rated for. I had L298N for a solar panel and it drove it well for a panel weighted 20lb. When I expanded to 8 panel the actuator was rated upto 300lb but L298N was struggling with 12V at 3Amps.
Very helpful for new learners like me. Thank you!

Thanks a lot Sir Shamshiri for this tutorial.
How can I use it for automatic car Gear using Flysky Remote control ,auxiliary switch and arduino?
you are welcome. Very interesting application. I just noted it, when time permits in shaa Allah I will make video on that topic.
Bonjour et merci ROBOJAX , bonne année de France (AVIGNON )
Bonjour AVIGNON, bonne année à toi. Je vous remercie.
Good day. I would like to control a TGM7 series 24V 6A geared motor using a 24V DC motor controller (lithium battery) and Arduino. I would appreciate your help on this subject.
Hi, yours is also a actuator. May be you missed it, this is a simple relay switch. it can turn on/off 24V or 120V or 220V. Please watch again and you use it.
Thanks for the video. Is this also possible with a push button switch? ;Push once extend, push again stops and push again retract?
You are welcome. yes possible. it needs some work and experiment.
Nice can u make me a code for an actuator that is commanded by the DTH11 temp and moist meter that will decide if the actuator should go out or in when its too hot or too wet ?
Your projects is very specific and few people might need it. Here is something that turns ON a motor but you can connect your actuator th-cam.com/video/5xQ8vLavWKQ/w-d-xo.html . Thank you for not skipping the ads and keep watching it. This will help me a lot.
Awesome video! I have everything wired correctly but for some reason I can't get the actuator to move. I see my lights on the relays go from on to off when the specific button is pushed but nothing happens.
Are there any common troubleshooting steps that I can take?
if the light on the relay turns ON/OFF AND relay clicks, then wiring for the actuator has issue. when I said relay CLICKS, i mean you could hear it. if not then the voltage required to turn ON the relay is not enough or strong. so first make sure the relay clicks with ON and with OFF. then check the wires that goes to the motor.
not sure where I missed how many power supplies used. Is it 12v for relay and 5v for arduino. If this is yes, then the AMPs needed for actuators come from battery and wont trouble Arduino. Also I want to know if BTS7960 is required or not.
Arduino needs and works with 5V and 12V. I used 5V but if you use the power adapter connector of Arduino, you can connect 12V or use IN pin you can use 12V. then we have power for actuator. If you used 12V for Arduino, then you can use both from the same source. If you are using Arduino nano, micro or some version that does not have 12V input, then use only 5V for Arduino and use 12V or whatever voltage your actuator requires.
@@robojax I'm using 2 actuators , do I need bts7960 for speed. Currently using car battery for motors and a different 5v source for nano
Thanks alot !
You are welcome. Please subscribe. I appreciate it.
Thnx
Hello sir can you please tell what to do if you wan to connect a 24v linear actuator. Will the connections be the same? please I need help for my project
Supply 24v to actuator. Supply separate power to Arduino.
@@robojax and will the connections be the same
@@robojax and can we run a 12v linear actuator on 24v
The actuator voltage is independent. Whatever I have talked about motor, just use the same method to your 24V or 36V motor.
I have three 12 volt linear actuators that I control in both directions with a manual switch, how can I wire it with a wireless remote control (uhppote 6 channel )? Thanks
Hello, here is the video of remote controller module that you can use with this th-cam.com/video/0KbdIg2qkx0/w-d-xo.html
I want to utilize *both the hard wired switch and by remote control. Wouldn’t I need some sort of diode or module to isolate the two circuits?
How many relays we need if we have 24v two actuators
Excellent explanation thanks alot. sir can you make one video with LCD display either touch or 16*2 ?
you mean LCD is used with the actuator?
Exactly sir and if can show Angle that will be great
the angle is relative value. For each application it would be different. We would either need angle sensor or fixed assumed value to be calculated and displayed.
I will wait for your new video related to this ☺️ thanks sir for your quick response and precious time.
Hi thank you for all the work you do it's very educativ .
I do the same project withe a thermocouple and relay but i want you to show me how to mak a memory position of the actuator when the temperature drope under 55 C the actuator out all but when the temperatur will be over 55 C the acuator back to the same position that he was
Hi, and you are welcome., you can check this video and learn from it how to control something with temperature. Watch the code section 2 or 3 times so you learn it th-cam.com/video/5xQ8vLavWKQ/w-d-xo.html
@@robojax i watche the video but my project is about a memory position watch this video its the same of my project but i want to change the push buton withe the thermocouple this is the video th-cam.com/video/Zb_rqvUEc0Q/w-d-xo.html
I just saw the video, the code from memory can be combined with the temperature video. I'd make video of that but it is too specific and no one would watch it.
@@robojax thank you so much for your help i read many cemment of deferent people its asking the samme question if you do the video many fans will watching and thank you

Thank you
You're welcome
Nice video! How could I control two linear actuators relatively synchronously?
exactly the same way. just define pins for potentiometer and output pings for the driver.
@@robojax You see, I want to make a standing desk out of two linear actuators.
Using Arduino, how can I tell the linear actuators to lift the table to a certain height (standing position) by pressing one button and then pressing another button to tell them to go to the sitting height position?
Thanks for being so helpful!
you have to record the time for certain action and when button is pressed, keep it running for that amount of time so you know it has reached to certain point. This will work only if your power is always stable as the amount of power will speed up or slow down the motor. you can do it in advanced way to have sensors to detect exact position and turn it ON or off. which needs separate tutorial and code.
@@robojax Okay! In understand.
Which is the cheapest way to do what I want?
And, which components should I buy?
Thanks again!
Your relay circuit looks just like a H-bridge. Would a L298N work on this?
I am sorry for late reply. I was on vacation. Yes it will work.
How do I program the arduino to “push” and then “pull” back in once it reaches the limit?
Hi, you can use the function actuatorPull(); and actuatorPush(); after one another . Just add enough time between them like
actuatorPull();
delay(2700);//27 second delay
actuatorPush();
If you watch the video you will know where to put the code.
hi Mr ahmed thank you fo your reponse i watche the video that you send me but it's not the simalar to my project if you can help ms pleas my project is controling an actuator withe a thermocouple and relay i do the first mission wen the temperature drope under 55C i want my acuator out to the end but i want to add other order wen the temperature be 70C the actuator back to the samme position be in the first time i want to do a memorized position and automatique the acuator back to the position
Hi, other than guiding you to the videos, which I did, I can't help. if gotta watch it, learn and use. or hire someone. I have not time to work on projects. Good luck.
How should I code if I wanted to press the button once to push or pull the actuator until it stops, instead of holding down the button?
It won’t be safe because you won’t system won’t know if it has reached to the end? You need limiter or something that tells you it has reached to the end . You can do it with time but it will not be accurate as change in voltage will cause the motor yo slow down or speed up. But you can put delay to keep it running to certain time and then stop .
@@robojax It is because I am working on a project with 2 linear actuators, but I am planning to put 4 external limit switch, 2 on each to limit the distance it travels. But I am having trouble with the coding to press the button once to make it run. I also want it to move individually instead of both running at the same time. Would that be possible to program?
Yes i tis possible. you can post your question on Arduino community forum forum.arduino.cc/
Want to use it with web guide ultrasonic sensor for printing machine will it work with if yes please make one video with code
what is "web guide"? never heard of it.
@@robojax th-cam.com/video/Z0Mg_ChVfBw/w-d-xo.html
What is best idea to control 4linear actuators
get 8 channel realy. I have the video for 8 channel and apply the idea from actuator on the 8 channel relay video.
@@robojax thank you very much going to watch this
Can we used with ssr relay
It seems you don’t the solid state relay . Here is introduction video th-cam.com/video/DumIZ3lkHP4/w-d-xo.html and that for AC power
Is it possible to control the speed of the movement of actuator?
I believe I've mentioned it. This code and speed shown it the maximum speed. Yes you can slow it down by adding delay like delay(200); it will delay every move by 200 milliseconds.
Robojax ok thanks
you are welcome.
Where did you buy the linear actuator?
The link is in description below the video.
Dear brother the two push buttons , one of the wires connected to 8 and 9 please tell me where the other wires of pushbuttons connected
Maybe you did not watch it.please watch as I don’t remember unless I watch.
@@robojax thank you very much I watch closely got it.Allal bless yoh
Sir how much you provide voltage to relays ?
if your relay is 5V, then connect 5V. You can get 12V relay or 24V. There are different relay that you can purchase.
Sir how can i move actuator up and down automatically without button and adjust the speed of up down motion. Already subscribed
so you if you want it to just push and pull and never stop, use principle shown in Arduino for servo in this video th-cam.com/video/kZ9b31gVemc/w-d-xo.html then but you need speed control. that need motor driver with PWM like module th-cam.com/video/inUOVV0LnoQ/w-d-xo.html and hack it like this th-cam.com/video/EapP4BhlYb0/w-d-xo.html
@@robojax ok Sir let me check thanks
What is relay model you are using
The link to purchase relay is in my he description of video
@@robojaxthe red and black button you hold in your hand to extend and back piston
What if you wanted it to run up 6 seconds when you hit up and down for 6 seconds when you hit down button?
sorry did not understand it.
@@robojax If instead of holding the button down, if you wanted it to be a set time that the motor runs when you push the button
sir how we use rotry encoder for this project.
To position it? interesting. I just put it on my "to do" list.
@@robojax thank you sir to reply.
I’m interested in this as well although I’m thinking about a sliding potentiometer for my project.

Sir. Can you show us how to make chicken coop automatic door to use this project. Thanks
to open or close the door, it can be used like this avianaquamiser.com/posts/drawbridge_chicken_coop_door_opener/ but to make it "Automatic" it depends how automatic. Perhaps time control to open and close at certain time. that itself needs separate project.
Robojax could you demonstrate using a LDR to operated the linear actuator
Great video, but can’t this be done without using a arduino but rather a DPDT switch. It’s quite simple.
Of course yes it could be done. I’ve shown it with arduino so people can use it for automaton projects
Can you make one with a timer? OpenS at 6am and close at 9pm
when it comes to time, you need a Real-Time-Clock or RTC module. here is afull video to make your own clock and have alram or turn ON/OFF something th-cam.com/video/gz9xqvRroDY/w-d-xo.html you can use the ON/OFF features with this actuator.
What would cause BOTH relays to come on?
to change the code or do incorrect wiring.
@@robojax didn’t change any code. But… I’m trying to move TWO actuators at the same time. So, I didn’t know if they might cause an issue…
if you try to move two actuator at the same time, then connect both + and - of actuators into one wire and then you will have 2 wires instead of 4. then connected as shown in this video.
@@robojax thank you. Not sure what’s happening.
helo can you list the equipment that you use for arduino
Hello, I have added the list in the page where the code is. you can purchase it from the links as well.
You didn’t reply back? I spent my time to make the list for . A simple thank you would have been nice to acknowledge someone’s efforts. In worst case “okay” would haven sufficient.
