Linear Actuators

[tam10]

Hi

I'm looking for a linear actuator to use for a lifting mechanism. I have looked everywhere and I can't find any. Ebay only seems to have really big ones. I only need it to extend around 6cm, with enough force to lift a featherweight bot. Does anybody know where I can get one from?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. That actuator is a little too big to fit in my robot unfortunately, but thanks anyway.

I will probably try building one based on the info from that link.

Thanks!
