Yes, but the actuator must be designed to withstand outdoor conditions. For outdoor use, choose actuators with:

IP Ratings: Actuators with a higher Ingress Protection (IP) rating are more resistant to dust and water. An IP66 or IP67 rating is suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Stainless steel or treated aluminum housings and components prevent rust and corrosion.
Temperature Resistance: Some actuators are built to operate in extreme hot or cold environments.
