Minimum practicable linear actuator stroke
Minimum practicable linear actuator stroke
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I'm working on some mechanical system which requires linear actuator to be set in motion. Motion limits are narrow and my first study therefore produced the required stroke of an actuator of about 1 mm. I guess it is too little? Shall I take care to increase the required stroke? Or is it practicable and I will actually be able to successfully control it with 1 mm motion? If not, what is the recommended minimum stroke? The system is light and doesn't require powerful actuator.

Look in Laser World Magazine if you want high accuracy small movement platforms.
