Kitronik Linear Actuator Kit

Our new Linear Actuator converts the circular movement of a 180 degree servo (supplied) into motion in a straight line; one way and then the other. It can be mounted to a project to provide either horizontal or vertical movement. Linear Actuators are useful for a whole host of different applications; like; robots; automated button switching; steering racks for buggies; a point switcher on a model railway; animating a diorama display; etc. Linear actuators are also used extensively in industry and in consumer products; such as; valves; cams; floppy disk drives and optical disk drives; just to name a few. The Linear Actuator has been cut from a 5mm clear blue Perspex Sheet; the same material as used in our servo powered Klaw gripper. There are a range of mounting holes at either end of the rack including a 3mm hole; a 3mm square; and standard servo horn holes suitable for wire (1mm dia) and it has approximately 20mm of travel. It has a gear ratio of 2:3 and the stall torque of the provided servo is 1.5kg/cm at 6V and 1.3kg at 4.8V.
