Which Actuator?

Sorry to double post but if I buy one of these:
http://firgelliauto.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=84&products_id=73http://firgelliauto.co.uk/product_in...products_id=73
and double the voltage, will I get double the lifting capacity? In my opinion 40kg of thrust is enough (itll lift two robots plus the arm) and it is pretty quick.

Thanks,

alex

Doesnt appear to be a voltage value listed for the Maplin one either. My guess would be that those specifications are for 24V so it would cost you more to overvolt that.

For actuators I think your best bet is to monitor eBay every couple of weeks - sometimes theres sod all on there (like just now, Ive just checked) but sometimes there are two or three actuators suitable for featherweights

doubling the voltage will times the force by 4 so

20x4=80kg

doubling the voltage will times the force by 4 so...you run the risk of exceeding the design limits and breaking it

In my opinion 40kg of thrust is enough (itll lift two robots plus the arm) and it is pretty quick... that depends on your actuator extension to arm tip lift gear ratio.

The ZYJ(s)01 High Speed actuator @ 24v might suit your needs.
