    I want to do something like https://github.com/SimFeedback/SimFeedback-AC-Servo/wiki but these ac servo motors require 3d printing a lot of parts and building the entire actuator yourself. I just want to spend a bit extra and buy actuators with similar specs already built. I don't mind doing some wiring etc if I have to. The commercial options are there don't seem to compare to the specs of these, and if they do they are outrageously priced.

    My Motion Simulator:
    AC motor, Motion platform
    If high performance actuators were available commercially for a 'reasonable' price, no one would bother with DIY....

    Would these actuators be suitable for a stewart platform setup? Or just something 4dof like this?
