Re: DART linear actuator alternatives?
That actuator does look promising (if we really need extra force, we can combine, multiple ones, since they are so cheap compared to the DARTs).

Do you know how the performance changed when you put the BAG on it? Did its speed and/or force change?. If you had a model number for the original motor, that would be really helpful for comparison, since it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere.

Thanks.

EDIT: I just noticed that it (and all other similar models) are out of stock online. Did you order it online or (since you guys are in Canada) were you able to get it in a Princess Auto store?
