Nope, 2 different people man :) I've sent you a reply ^

Hi, For a machine I am designing, the linear actuator would ideally not produce much noise as it is intended to be in a relatively quiet environment. Just wondering do all actuators produce a large amount of noise pollution (it would need to produce a force of up to 125kg so it is not a small...

Ok thank you, I will definitely be testing this design! Interesting, could I ask for more info on how this would work? Would it work as actuators inside other actuators? If so, could these actuators be designed to provide different forces? (with the smaller actuators providing smaller...

In the ideal model of it, the actuator would move left and right under the horizontal forces acting at the bottom of it without any horizontal resistance (I want it to move horizontally as it would if there was no stand i.e. was floating in mid-air). As this isn't possible, I'm trying to get as...

The actuator needs to remain parallel to the right side of the stand, so would use something like a standard prismatic joint but with the net upward force the friction would mean there is a large resistance to the horizontal motion. Do you know of any way to reduce this resistance for this joint...

Yes sorry, was attempting to figure out how to upload the image after I posted it :D Have added it now.

Designing a machine. For it to work properly there would need to be a mechanism that connects the linear actuator to the stand that would allow for the actuator to move horizontally relatively freely with applied forces at the bottom, when there is simultaneously a downward applied force by the...

Ok understood. That's helped me out a lot with this, much appreciated mate!

I have now :) Very helpful, thanks.

Very true

Would the model in this diagram be able to keep the object stationary provided there is enough current? What equations would be used to calculate the forces acting on the object from the electromagnetic fields? -The object is equidistant from the electromagnets - The object is separated from the...
