    Hi All.
    I'm in the process of gatering parts for a DIY actuator, I have found a 24V 1000W brushless motor, have anyone used a brushless motor for a DIY actuator? It seems to be the best choice regarding fast direction change. But is it a good idea?

    Kind regards
    Morten

    I use 24V 125W for test with load and they was very hot after 20-30 min.
