Actuators for 'Force Dynamics' style sim (SCN6?)

[efy2bjg]

Hello folks,

I am investigating the possibility of starting a Force Dynamics style, 3 actuator sim project.

I've been looking at similar builds on here and elsewhere and it looks as though people are developing their own actuators when approaching this kind of design.

I'd rather avoid developing actuators myself (due to the complexity this will add to the project) and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the viability of any existing available actuators in this kind of design? Perhaps the heavier duty, longer throw SCN6s?

Many thanks

Ben

I think it is difficult to find appropriate cylinders
I make myself cylinders on the basis of the gearmotor.
see my post "Ultimate machine"

Hi Riton,

I've seen your project. There's a lot of great work there!

I'm thinking that step one of my project will be to understand and develop a suitable actuator. Not a small task...

Have you seen this genius idea? http://jippes.home.xs4all.nl/hi6sim/MK_IV.html

Wow, thanks Terry,

That's so useful to see. So much to learn.

I'm sure these come at a premium but they look up to the job:
