    Hello friends!
    can anybody help me?
    I'm looking to build a platform using linear actuators.
    But as I am not aware I would like to know which actuator would be ideal for this project!
    thank you all.

    It is hard to say what actuator is suitable without knowing more about the actual design and intended weight/load. Please post a sketch of what you plan to build.

    While created with wormdrive motors in mind SimCalc will give you a bit of an idea of the physics involved: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...e-linear-speed-and-forces-of-your-design.270/
