What the fuck, there really aren't any cheap actuators from china that can work all the time? Or at least 50% of the time? I only need one and it doesn't need to be anything amazing.
What will happen If I will use 100% time an actuator that designed for 10% duty, the motor will simply overheat and burn?

What are you doing with a linear actuator that needs to run full duty? Sounds like a better application for pneumatics or hydraulics.
>>
>>3006504
how much the dildo weigh?

Put cooling on the 10% autofucker.
>>
>>3006553
isn't the engine a moving part? I'm asking because I genuinely wonder how can I cool a moving part. It's not like I can but a radiator and glue it on one part of the engine. Also, from what I looked there are gears. Would those break?

>>3006548
I'm looking for something that will hold up to 150kg of weight. A bit too much for a dildo.

>>3006542
I just wanted a piece of desk that will move up and down whenever the level of the floor changes and it is supposed to change more than 10% of the time. The desk isn't going to move by much, at worst 100-200 mm.

Idk about pneumatics or hydraulics, never researched them. I want something that silent and compact which from what I have googled pneumatics aren't, though I will look at hydraulics.

>genuinely wonder how can I cool a moving part
How indeed
>buy a radiator and glue it on one part of the engine
Yes that's exactly how you cool things. Cooling one thing also has tendency to cool adjacent things.
>>
>>3006587
yeah but If it's moving then radiator will also move, the faster the motor moves, the higher chance the radiator will fall off. To make radiator work, I would have to glue it with something conductive which I never heard of existing.

Are we dodging around maritime? If you want to level your table you need three/four motors instead of one, which might play into your favour as less strength per actuator is needed.
>>
>>3006625
yeah I know, but for now I want to simply build a prototype and at least 50% duty time is a crucial requirement that I will need to met.
>>

Usually the thermal cutout trips, and you have to wait a while for it to reset.

>>3006504
gates opening kit sounds like a cheaper solution, it might be just too slow. You need to find the brushless one.
