The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion. The actuator uses five different parts, a few screws, and a common RC servo. The video shows the actuator ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics ... The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was developed as a way to turn a mini servo into a linear actuator, giving it more power in the process.

The miniature GVCM-019-032-02 linear voice coil servo motor is ¾-in. in diameter and features ... Both the housing and coil ends of the actuator have two 4-40 UNC-2B threaded mounting holes on ...
