It's well-known that these can be used, but which ones are best and at what prices?? This is what I am finding:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002259609763.html
400mm stroke 100N force and 50mm/s - $55
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001382488812.html
500 mm stroke 180N force 50mm/s - $65
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000833409994.html
400 mm stroke 200N force 66mm/s - $85
Now, clearly here are other/better options I did not find so it would be great to get a full list.
These "ratings" are also not to be sure until you actually try them, and maybe they will just burn out, but pypilot motor controller does support a motor temperature sensor which should prevent it.
As for waterproofing, perhaps the simplest way is with a waterproof canvas and spring.
Has anyone actually used linear actuators from aliexpress and what problems did you face?
