Re: Linear Actuator for Lifting
Depending on the weight of your bot pneumatic linear slide actuator will probably not lift it. We tried it today with a 110 Lb weight and 250 MM and 300MM actuators neither would handle a vertical lift. The other thing to realize is that linear actuators always stay the same length. which may make it difficult to use for climbing.
