To continue with this question. We have similar linear actuators from the same place as the op. What if we were to wire this with a spark motor controller such as this one?

I get the point about motors but I'm mostly questioning the wiring right now. Non electrical person, power through the +/- and then the controller through the limit switch input.
Thoughts and feed back appreciated.
