Cyril's 2dof motion w/ linear actuator

If you want to go fast, take the ballscrews with 10 mm pitch and the stronger motor with less rpm in the end this should be faster. And if the motors are to weak, you can reset the joint point and use some struts

I'm up to doing something similar. linear actuators with 24v dc motors. also found the same motors you have I have already ballscrews with 5 and 10mm pitch. the outer geometry is the same, so i'll be able to switch from one to another for testing purposes.
BUT i'll take some weeks, until i have everything together. atm i'm still considering which parts i should buy. Have just a small budget

maybe you also saw this motors

i know, they are more expensive. but they will suit your PSUs better

There are also 2010 ballscrews

cheers

Thank you for your help @My.stAr. I don't think the power will be a problem, I'm more worried about the speed so the sfu2010 might be a solution. It's twice the price tho :-(

@My.stAr and @cyril69850 its been a while since your last post, sorry for reviving it but just wondered if you've made any progress?
I'm just starting out on my journey to create a motion simulator and I'm currently scouring for components. I too have come across the e-scooter motors that are readily available on EBay and have a similar idea to create a small ballscrew actuator for us on a seat mover. The reason for choosing a DIY linear actuator instead of the standard Motion Dynamics worm gear motor is because I want to use the experience to enable me to move onto a 6DOF possibly in the future (if I can find enough space in my home). I also believe that I could make a linear actuator for a similar amount of money as the Motion Dynamics motors once you factor in the cost of shipping to the UK. I might be wrong on this but being an engineer I prefer to have a go at making my own actuator.

Hey, sorry for the late answer.
I wasn't online that often this year. Had a lot to do. But now i have a little bit more time.
So I made just a little progress. I have some motoros, but no Controllers yet. Next week i'll get my seat and can start Building the rig. But it will take some months, until something will be ready
