Which Ball Screw Actuator Best Fits a Reclining Mechanism for a 9KN Load?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on selecting a suitable ball screw actuator for a reclining mechanism designed to support a 9KN load. The mechanism must raise its weight over a vertical distance of 610mm and requires an actuator that extends by 269mm. Users have explored options from Thomson Linear and reviewed various ball screw catalogs. The actuator must handle a maximum dynamic load of 9KN, with slightly lower static load capacity. Recommendations for the best model are sought to meet these specifications effectively.

I have a reclining mechanism which moves by and down. It is X framed, just like an ambulance stretcher. It has to be able to raise its own weight through a vertical distance of 610mm. The length of the stretcher is 2m, and the distance between the wheels is fixed at 1.2m. Can anyone help me go about this...

I've used linear motion products from http://www.thomsonlinear.com/website/com/eng/products/Ball_Screws_and_Lead_Screws.php" to find manufacturers.

hey thanks for the links, I've looked at some of the ball screw catalogues and found a few possible ones. The actuator must extend by 269mm and be capable of providing a maximum dynamic load of 9KN. The static load capacity is just a bit less. What would be the best model?

Thanks
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
