Looking for some sort of actuator... - SV650.org

Not really sure what would fit the bill here... It's got to be fairly small and light- couple of fag packets at most- 12V, and able to pull a cable about an inch, either with a lateral pull or a rotation. Doesn't need to be particularily strong, though. Cheap is good

Someone suggested an EXUP actuator but I think that might be too big?

look at stepper motors that you find in RC cars etc..

Or an RC model servo, very torquey, very small, throw depends on lever geometry, you'd get an inch pull easily

Are you making a flip up number plate

Not sure what sort of actuation you need, but wouldn't something from a car central locking system do? Door or boot release....

Thanks folks, looks like a stepper might be the simplest option... Servos look like more trouble to control? And bear in mind who you're talking to here, simple is the number one goal

um, I have no idea what you're talking about. *glazes over in a cazza-like fashion*

I'll go and busy myself elsewhere....

Then probably a servo is better from an RC car than a stepper motor which needs some logic control i think.

I've got an brand new exhaust valve actuator from a GSXR600K6.

It's about the size of a fag packet. Comes with the necessary push and pull cables as well.

Make me an offer.

Maplin do central locking motors.. move about an inch? Cost a tenner for a 5watt.
