What is the difference between a 12V electric actuator and a 24V electric actuator for a tractor?

The supply voltage must match your machine’s electrical circuit. A 12V actuator is used on standard circuit tractors, trailers, and most attached agricultural equipment. A 24V actuator suits machines with a high-voltage circuit (some self-propelled machines, large forage harvesters). Connecting a 12V actuator to a 24V circuit will quickly destroy it; conversely, a 24V unit on a 12V circuit won’t operate. Always verify the voltage before ordering.

What is an electro-hydraulic actuator and what is its use in agriculture?

An electro-hydraulic actuator integrates an electric motor and a hydraulic pump in a compact autonomous unit. It’s not connected to the tractor’s hydraulic circuit: it generates its own pressure to move its rod. This solution is common on trailer tippers, loader lift systems, and attached equipment requiring strong push forces. Used parts come from dismantled trailers and attached agricultural equipment.

How to find a used agricultural electric actuator compatible with my equipment?

Identify three key elements before calling: voltage (12V or 24V), push force (in kg or kN), and stroke (in mm). The machine’s brand and model also help locate the original reference.
