I designed the linear actuator with a target force of 400N in mind. This is why I chose a lead screw with 2.54mm of lead per step. The actuation distance is limited by the stepper to 150mm. The load of on the actuator would only be the thrust (we cant lift any object that is heavier than our...

TL;DR Summary: I'm designing a subsea linear actuator for an ROV. The device should be able to withstand high external hydrostatic pressures (> 5MPa) for our application. I'm unsure what the best arrangement of seals for this is, so I'd appreciate any input on this and any other potential...
