There's a simple method for turning one of our remote control tubular motors into a linear actuator for controlling vents, windows, skylights and any other item you would like to move with a motorized actuator.

If you remove the rubberized drive adapter from the drive shaft of the tubular motor and attach a piece of threaded rod, you will transform the motor into a linear actuator. Attach a nut on the end of piece of tube and screw it onto the threaded rod, and you have a complete remote control linear actuator system.

Use it to control the motion of anything you want, including windows, greenhouse vents, skylights, etc.

Stay tuned to this page for more details and photographs about how to do it.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using these advanced motors; if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time!
