I have got some claws for my featherweight (thanks mattsdragons), and having got the robot working better I want to put them on. I need an actuator for this but am not too certain as to where to get one from and what one would be best. I am not much of an engineer so often need very basic guidance as to what I need to do. Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
Not a problem, just a case of pick now
Just google electric actuator, either 12v or 24v and have a look around
Have done a quick google and still not too sure. What stroke length do I need? I looked at the Gimson ones, they are about £50 to £60 - is that a fair price or can I get a fairly decent one for less? Also, if I choose to change the weapon, to perhaps a lifting arm, would I still be able to use the same actuator?
Should be no reason why not, I used a 100mm stroke 24v one for the claws, but I would got for a longer one

Have some for sale in the for sale thread
How much for the actuator and what size as we need to fit them into the robot? They may be a bit above our budget, however I am not too certain as to costs etc apart from the ones on the gimson site which are nowhere near as powerful. Are yours too powerful for a featherweight? Also we are running on about 16V is that enough?
i have a modified one of those that Ed is selling, very good strong units if you alter the voltage it start to alter other things such as the force produced
