Pololu actuators with feedback

[thaparser]

I've asked the questions on their forum. I'll update this thread as I'll have answers from them.
cheers

"We do not have any information available about those ratings for the Linear Actuators." (Pololu)

RacingMat, is this what you're referring to? "Maximum duty cycle: 25%"

cheers

So 1 minute run and 3 minutes pause for cooldown. This do not look very usable.
Ok, lets say the 25% are for the 3 years warranty, then we need a continous run until first faiure. I do not see the duty cycle as countinous value because the duty cycle is for the life time. You can use the actuators 25% of the time on one day. Without a frequency you cannot give a duty cycle.
We can make a PWM of 25%, then they must theoretically work all the time

ah, never mind these, they are too slow.
I've misread the spec and the speed is actually 13 mm/s and 43 mm/s which is not even close to what we'd need.
sorry about that!

these still look good and check the seat implementation idea http://www.playseatstore.com/motion.html
but I wouldn't pay that anyhow.

cheers!
