    No answers. Only Ali Express. I did find another company that sold kits but I think they are most likely in China.

    Note that there are much less expensive alternatives for AC servos now. Check out this thread:

    Most of the linear actuators are associated with 6dof but they could all work for a SFX system as well. I decided to make my own design but it’s just in my head for now.

    I have seen SFX-150 stuff also. You might try a search for that.
