Genuine Mulin ML18-006A recliner motor

Replacing your recliner motor? Our Mulin ML18-006A actuator has a 204mm stroke and 25mm/s speed for matching powered-recliner installations. Compare the complete model, mounting dimensions and wiring with your original before ordering. Send us photos if you're unsure and we'll help you check the match.

Electrical Specs

• Brand: Mulin Electrics
• Rated input: DC 24V–28V
• Current: 1.5A

Performance

• Stroke: 204mm
• Linear speed: 25mm/s
• Maximum push force: 1500N, supplied as the maximum structural push limit

1500N is actuator force, not torque or chair occupant capacity. Follow the chair manufacturer's weight limit. These specifications were supplied by CouchGuard, not independently verified from a readable manufacturer label during this review. A duty cycle has not been supplied; follow the applicable manufacturer instructions rather than borrowing another model's rating.

Dimensions & Build

• Actuator model: ML18-006A
  
• Minimum mounting length: 157mm centre to centre of pin
• Ram casing length: 310mm
• Total overall length: 420mm

The 420mm figure is total overall length, not the mounting distance between pins. Its retracted or extended position has not been specified. Compare dimensions in the same position and using the same reference points. Keep mounting length, stroke, casing length and overall length separate.

Connections

The existing listing describes a Y-cable assembly with a five-pin connection and male and female two-pin I0 connections. Compare every connector face, gender, keying, polarity and cable route with your original. Matching pin counts alone do not guarantee matching wiring.

Replacement compatibility

We identify ML18-006, ML18-100 and ML8-310B as replacement references for matching installations, not blanket interchangeable models. The part supplied is ML18-006A. Compare the original stroke, mounting ends, fixing positions, clearance, travel limits, electrical ratings and all connections before substituting any model. MOT-AC-69 is an identification reference, not a guarantee that every installation using that code matches.

Matching and safe replacement

Need a hand? Call us on 1300 268 244 or email clear photos of your original label, complete actuator, mounting ends and plug faces, together with measurements. A non-moving chair does not prove motor failure: switches, power supplies, cables and mechanism faults can also stop movement.

Disconnect mains and any battery supply before replacement. Support the mechanism securely, keep clear of moving links and use a qualified repairer if unsure. Don't force plugs, modify wiring or connect directly to mains power. Plug-in replacement applies only when the complete mechanical and electrical installation matches.

Frequently asked questions

What model will I receive?

Mulin ML18-006A. The supplied alternative part code is MOT-AC-69.

What is the stroke?

The supplied specification is 204mm.

What input does it require?

The supplied rated input is DC 24V–28V at 1.5A. Match the original electrical system and wiring.

What are the speed and force ratings?

25mm/s and 1500N maximum push force. The force figure is not a chair occupant-weight limit.

What is the minimum mounting length?

157mm centre to centre of pin, as supplied. Compare the same mounting reference points on your original.

Is 420mm the mounting distance?

No. It is total overall length. The ram casing is 310mm; both are separate from mounting length and 204mm stroke. Compare at the same actuator position.

Can it replace ML18-006, ML18-100 or ML8-310B?

Only in a matching installation. Check model, travel, mounts, clearance, electrical ratings and every connection before substitution.

Which connections should I check?

The five-pin connection and both male and female two-pin I0 connections, including polarity, keying and cable routing.

Can it run continuously?

Don't assume so. A duty cycle is not confirmed here; follow the applicable manufacturer instructions.

What should I send for a fit check?

Clear photos of the model label, full actuator, mounting ends and each plug face, plus mounting measurements.

Does a chair that won't move need a new actuator?

Not necessarily. Establish whether the fault is in the motor, controls, wiring, power supply or mechanism before ordering.

Recliner Replacement Parts Manual - FAQ’s 

Do you stock Pegar recline parts?

No unfortunately. Pegar handles have been obsolete for many years and we don’t stock any cables suitable.

Recliner springs are measured by the overall length. You’ll find a break down of each recliner spring on each of the products pages. Simply click or tap on the “Measuring” tab.

Can I get a different shade brown?

No. There is only 1 colour brown available worldwide. There is no choice what shade of brown it is sorry.

Yes. There can be a couple mm tolerances in the measurements given.

My recliner handle measures 11cm x 7cm. Will your handles still fit?

Yes. Converted to millimetres is 110mm x 70mm.

How do you measure a recliner cable? You need to remove the trigger and cable from the recliner, disconnect the cable from the handle and use the Cable Cheat Sheet that is on the website.

How do I measure a recliner cable?

Click or Tap on the “Measuring” tab on the products page and follow the Cable Cheat Sheet to measure your cable correctly. Make sure you disconnect your cable from the handle before measuring.

Before You Buy a Replacement Part

Replacement parts can look similar while having different model numbers, dimensions, connectors or mounting points. Before ordering:

• Check the original part for a manufacturer label, model number or part number.
• Compare the connector type, dimensions and mounting points with the product listing.
• Check the product description and compatibility guidance carefully.
• Contact CouchGuard with clear photos if you are unsure which part you need.

Additional Checks for Electrical Parts

• Check that the green light on the power supply is on.
• Check the leads and connections for visible damage.
• Check whether the switch is faulty.
• If possible, test the actuator in another compatible recliner.

These checks may help identify the fault, avoid replacing a working part and save you hundreds of dollars.
