3212-0001-0001, Linear Actuator Kit (203mm Stroke)
This kit includes all the components needed to build a linear actuator entirely from goBILDA® parts. The 1120 Series U-Channel serves as the outer frame, while the 1109 Series goRAIL® functions as the extension tube. The goRAIL® is supported by two goRAIL® Slide-Blocks that can be positioned anywhere along the channel, allowing you to adjust the overall extension length and lateral stability. A 60-tooth gear on the motor drives another 60-tooth gear on the lead screw, creating a compact 1:1 ratio.
Note: Servo not included.
We recommend using the 5.2:1 ratio goBILDA® 5203 Series Yellow Jacket Planetary Gear Motor. When paired with the 2mm pitch lead screw, it produces over 22kg (50lbs) of thrust. With this motor, the actuator achieves a no-load speed of 153mm/sec and completes the full 203mm (8.0") stroke in just 1.31 seconds.
Tech Tip
Running a linear actuator beyond its endpoints will cause damage. Some actuators include internal circuits with limit switches and diodes to prevent overrun. To remain FTC legal, this kit includes no electronics. Use a motor with an encoder so you can program endpoints for proper operation.
