How does a 3 stage linear mechanical actuator work?

AI Thread Summary
A discussion on how a 3-stage linear mechanical actuator works reveals confusion about the operation of the last stage. Users suggest searching Google Images for helpful diagrams or 3D drawings to clarify the mechanism. There is frustration expressed over perceived lack of assistance, with one user emphasizing the importance of self-research skills. The conversation highlights a community guideline that encourages users to contribute constructively rather than rely solely on others for information. Overall, the thread underscores the need for visual aids to better understand the actuator's functionality.

TL;DR 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.?

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)

Did you find a 3d drawing for a better understanding or how the mechanic works??, if so please link.

Did you do the search?

Yes, did you find a link.?
 
LOL. So when you scrolled down a few lines of pictures in that Google Images search, did you see the first website with drawings? Did you click into it? It seemed pretty informative to me when I skimmed it. And the next step is to refine the search to get more drawings instead of the pictures...
 
3 post from you in my thread and not a proper help from you, no explanation or 3d. Just lame post count.
Please stay off my thread and go and pick on some one else, thank you.
 
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.

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.
