The folks at iR3 Creative Engineering are excited to announce a new line of products called DART Linear Actuators, linear actuators developed specifically around the CIM motor.
DART Linear Actuators were optimized to be used by FIRST robotics Teams. The DART's packaging offers 3 gear ratios, 1:1, 2:1 and 2.5:1 and comes in 2 stroke lengths 6" and 12". The DART actuators utilize a precision lead screw assembly which can offer position control over it's range of motion, something that FRC pneumatic systems struggle to achieve. The DART Actuators are both strong AND fast providing forces greater than 200lbs or speeds over 12 in/s.
The DART Linear Actuators will be distributed by AndyMark.com and will be available in time for the 2015 build season! We will be updating the website with more information in the coming weeks and we're hoping that this new product will help FRC teams in the seasons to come.
