short linear actuators 100lb+ 3

[engrnick]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you can recommend a manufacturer for me to look at for some short linear actuators that can handle 100lbs or so. maybe 2-4" extension, preferably <9" retracted length.

speed, voltage, not important right now.

I'm working on a prototype and need to demonstrate the motion works.

Thanks in advance!!
Nick

Hi engrnick

Try these people, I don't know whether they do anything that exactly matches your requirement but its worth a call.

This one Linak LA12 goes quite close to your specs: 245 mm (<10") OC, 4" stroke and less, up to 170 lb.

Thanks everyone!

I guess I should have mentioned "low-cost" as this is a prototype and our budget is low.

These are good starts tho.

thanks!
