Used Electric Actuator

12V Agricultural Electric Actuator: Extensive Used Selection at TMC Bejenne

The 12V electric actuator is the most common voltage on tractors and agricultural machines. It powers electric control systems for the lift, combine harvester deflectors, tipper flaps, and cutting adjustments on many recent models. TMC Bejenne, a specialist in used agricultural parts since 1945, dismantles various brands in its 11-hectare facility at Naintré: New Holland , John Deere , Case IH , Massey Ferguson and other market brands. Each recovered electric actuator is inspected: condition of the body, rod and connector, as well as testing the integrated motor before stocking.

12V Electric Actuator by Capacity and Fast Electric Actuator: Choosing the Right Part

• The capacity of the electric actuator (push force in newtons or kilograms) must match the actual application load: an undersized actuator overheats and fails quickly during long workdays.
• The stroke (rod travel distance in millimeters) is the second essential criterion: it must match the original part to maintain mechanical stops and operating angles.
• The rod extension speed varies by model: a fast electric actuator suits frequent open/close controls (flaps, deflectors), while a slower actuator is better for precision adjustments (cutting height, flow rate).
• Long strokes (200 mm or more) are found on trailer tipper controls and some electric lift systems: less common in used stock but available depending on incoming parts.
• Always check the associated control box: an incompatible electric actuator with its control unit can overheat or fail to reach end stops.

24V and 220V Electric Actuators: Available Voltages by Application

The 24V electric actuator is used on tractors with dual electric circuits and high-voltage alternator machines. It provides greater push force for the same cable section, making it ideal for long-stroke or high-load applications. TMC Bejenne stocks these depending on arrivals, sourced from combines and large forage harvesters. The 220V electric actuator is rarer in agriculture, mostly used in fixed installations (dryers, silos, milking systems) rather than mobile equipment.

Electro-Hydraulic Actuator and Motorized Actuator: Hybrid Solutions

• The electro-hydraulic actuator combines an electric motor and a compact hydraulic circuit in one unit: it produces much greater push forces than a standard electric actuator, enabling longer strokes and heavier loads beyond a simple electric actuator’s capability.
• This motorized actuator type is common on agricultural trailer tippers and some front loaders: the 12V or 24V electric motor drives a pump supplying a small internal hydraulic cylinder.
• The difference from a classic hydraulic cylinder: the electro-hydraulic actuator does not connect to the tractor’s main hydraulic circuit — it’s self-contained, powered solely by the vehicle’s battery or electric supply.
• Availability of used units depends on the types of trailers and attached equipment dismantled on our site: inquire directly with your reference.
• A faulty end-of-stroke sensor often causes motorized actuator blockage or overheating: check it before ordering a replacement actuator.

Hydraulic and Electric Actuators for Trailers: Equipping the Entire Equipment Range

Agricultural trailers often combine both actuator types. The hydraulic cylinder handles tipping the load under heavy conditions, while electric actuators operate bottom flaps, side extensions, or signaling. TMC Bejenne offers used parts for both categories: see our hydraulic cylinder range for tipping parts, and the electric actuators on this page for auxiliary controls. For trailers with tipper circuits based on a standalone electro-hydraulic unit (common on brands like Lambert, Gilibert or Bennes Calumet), these components are often linked: sourcing both together may be practical. Call 05 86 24 00 26 for expert advice on your setup.

Components Associated with the Electric Actuator: Control Boxes, Sensors and Controls

• Control boxes for electric actuators are available used depending on stock: often brand and model specific.
• End-of-stroke sensors are integrated or paired with the actuator: their failure causes mechanical stops that quickly damage the internal motor.
• Agricultural electric actuators often share connectors with other electrical components on the machine: browse our sensors and switches range for related parts.
• For broader electrical faults (alternator, starter, wiring), find all our parts in the electricity range.
