Re: Legality of Linear Actuators

It's sold as a servo, and I see no reason that it does not fit the servo rules (sale price is the only rule requirement, and it also fits the current requirements). How is this a question?

Edit: Just in case, Q369 asked.

Edit 2: answered.

Q369 Is a servo a servo a servo?
To me this is simple, but there seems to be some difficulty on Chief Delphi, so here are the questions: Traditionally, servos are rotational devices which provide rotation-angle internal closed-loop control but do not provide feedback for "external" control. Are devices sold as "linear servos" which provide linear motion using servo standard PWM controls but producing linear rather than rotational motion considered servos under the 2017 rules?

Answer: If it is sold by a VENDOR as a "servo", linear or otherwise, it's a servo.
