Linear Actuator large by Brucestephen

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is an actuator designed for use with a motion simulator. With the 1610 ballscrew @24 volts and the recommended motor this actuator should be capable of unloaded speeds in excess of 900mm per second. It is meant for use with the
Ampflow e30-150 motor http://ampflow.com/three_inch_high_performance_motors.htm

added motor Base Plate
an encoder ( https://www.usdigital.com/products/encoders/incremental/rotary/kit/E2 part number E2-50-375-IE-D-G-3) has been added to the motor.
I am controlling it with a kangaroo, sabertooth 2x60 from dimension engineering ( https://www.dimensionengineering.com/ ) and
Simtools motion software ( https://simtools.us/ ).
the next update will include mounting options
