Free Moving Linear Actuator? (Able to be manually moved when unpowered)
Hi there! As the title suggest i am searching for a linear actuator that can dissenge when unpowered. The purpose would be to make a diy auto pilot system for our boat. (41ft sailing boat) There are off the shelf products but these are to expensive for our budget. I can't imagine there is no industrial need for actuator like this that don't cost and arm and a leg. Hydraulic would be an option but this is still pretty expensive. In the link is an example of one of those rams. https://www.raymarine.com/nl-nl/onze-producten/stuurautomaten/stuurautomaat-aandrijfunits/type-1-lineaire-aandrijfunit Thanks in advance guys! submitted by /u/fritzo23 [link] [comments]
