Electrical Specs

• Input: DC 28V
• Current: 1.5A
• Duty cycle: maximum 2 minutes ON / 20 minutes OFF.
• Allow the OFF period to help prevent overheating.
• Safety certification: UL Listed, according to our supplied product specifications

Performance

• Stroke length: 333mm
• Speed: 36mm/s
• Actuator load rating: up to 2000N

The force rating is not the chair's occupant weight limit or a torque rating.

Dimensions & Build

• Minimum installation size: 157mm retracted, measured centre to centre of pin
• Model and MPN: Mulin ML8-001
• Included: motor with Y-cable wiring with 2 pin I0 and round 5 pin connections.

The 157mm measurement is the minimum retracted mounting length, not overall motor length. Keep mounting length, 333mm stroke and overall length separate when comparing parts. The specifications above are our supplied listing specifications; they have not been independently read from a clear rating-label photo.

Wiring and plugs

The connector photo shows a female round five-pin socket and male two-pin OI plug. Compare both with your original setup, including gender, keying, polarity and wiring. The same pin count does not guarantee the same electrical connection.

Check the match before ordering

Match the complete ML8-001 model, stroke, retracted and extended mounting dimensions, brackets, clearances, travel limits and electrical arrangement. Similar-looking Mulin motors and chair brands do not establish fit. Plug-in replacement is suitable only when all mechanical and electrical details match.

Need a hand? Call us on 1300 268 244 or email clear photos of your original label, full actuator, mounting points and both plug ends.

Safe replacement guidance

Disconnect mains power and any battery before working on the chair. Securely support the mechanism before loosening the actuator. Photograph the original orientation, hardware and cable routes, and follow your chair manufacturer's removal and mounting instructions. Disconnect plugs by their housings, not the wires. Keep cables clear of hinges and pinch points and don't force plugs or mounts.

Clear hands and tools before restoring power and testing a short movement. Stop if the mechanism binds or behaves abnormally. If you're unsure about safely supporting or fitting it, use a qualified repairer.
