erhm said:Summary:: 3 stage linear actuator, mechanical how.?
How does a 3 stage linear actuator mechanical work. I can only find a regular linear actuator mechanical but I'm unsure how will the last stage go up and down. Anyone got a poor 3d drawing for a better understanding.?
Did you find a 3d drawing for a better understanding or how the mechanic works??, if so please link.berkeman said:Welcome to PF. I did a Google Images search on the part of your post above that I've highlighted in bold, and got good hits. Maybe try that search to see if you find some helpful websites. (Hint, scroll down the page a bit to find the first site with drawings, or else refine that search by adding in the word drawing to get better hits

Yes, did you find a link.?berkeman said:Did you do the search.?
This is a place where people help each other and if you call this help then I don't need it, spare it to some one else. Thank you and stay off my thread.berkeman said:You are new here. You will find that we do not spoon-feed folks who should be able to do some of the work themselves. If you do not know how to use Google or Google Images to quickly find lots of helpful information about your questions, it is a skill that you should learn, IMO. I was trying to help you learn how to learn -- that is a PF theme.
A 3 stage linear mechanical actuator works by converting rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of three stages or sections, each with a different mechanism to produce linear movement. The first stage uses a motor to rotate a screw or worm gear, which then moves a nut or gear along a linear track. The second stage uses a rack and pinion mechanism to further convert the rotational motion into linear motion. The third stage uses a ball screw or belt drive to achieve precise and smooth linear movement.
The purpose of a 3 stage linear mechanical actuator is to provide precise and controlled linear movement for various applications. It is commonly used in industrial machinery, robotics, and automation systems to move objects or components along a linear path with high accuracy and repeatability.
The speed and force of a 3 stage linear mechanical actuator can be controlled by adjusting the rotational speed of the motor in the first stage, as well as the gear ratios and sizes of the components in the second and third stages. Additionally, external sensors and controllers can be used to monitor and adjust the speed and force of the actuator for precise and consistent movement.
One of the main advantages of using a 3 stage linear mechanical actuator is its ability to provide precise and repeatable linear movement. It also has a compact and simple design, making it suitable for various applications. Additionally, it can handle high loads and forces, and can be easily integrated with other mechanical and electronic systems.
While a 3 stage linear mechanical actuator has many advantages, there are also some limitations to consider. One limitation is the potential for wear and tear on the mechanical components, which may require maintenance or replacement over time. Additionally, the speed and force of the actuator may be limited by the capabilities of the motor and other components used in the design.
