small motors or linear actuators

You might want to try something like this:

Might be better to make up a small collar. Thread one end for the screw and Loctite. Drill and tap the other end for a small set screw to handle the geared output.

Geared motors from Solorbotics and other places.

Doc,

Did you read my post about buying some of those linear actuators you posted on your site?

WHAT???!?!?!?!!!! And you call yourself a hobbyist????? ;-)

You shouldn't have to "rip out" anything - it can be very elegantly disassembled and "repurposed." ;-)

And where else will you find motors and gears that are so ideally suited to the app, other than where Futaba buys them, and you'd still have to mount them!

But, then again, I've been a hacker (the good kind) for going on

Cheers! Rich
