What is "acurate"? You must mean accurate. If that were the case, then if pushed past it's max lb rating, the motor would short out, causing whatever power source to short as well. They are designed to stop, if said DC's resistance comes to a near dead short.
Irregardless,
The ones I've seen will be ruined if there are no stop switches. They'll continue to draw current, at heavy load because the motor can't move, and eventually burn out.
Look also at boat supply places. I've seen linear actuators with 6" and 12" throws for raising vent lids in boats. The guy selling the last one said he thought it required five amps, which I found hard to believe, and it needed something like 150 mA. So get it and try it. I still haven't used the parts I bought for that five amp power supply.
