The Linear Actuator - 12in Stroke is compatible with the REV ION System. This electric linear actuator aligns seamlessly with FRC-legal motors and gearboxes while adhering to FRC hardware and mounting standards.
Designed for adaptability, this actuator accommodates both gearbox and 1:1 motor configurations, catering to varying force requirements dictated by different applications. Its versatility extends to climbing tasks, driving arms, actuating intakes, and deploying other diverse mechanisms. For climbing or high impact applications we recommend mounting to the t-slots on the sides of the linear actuator instead of the endcaps. It is best practice to mount at two or more points spaced far apart along the length of the linear actuator.
The actuator can be rigidly affixed with a motor or gearbox attached to the input face. Alternatively, the MAX 180 Degree Gearbox can be mounted to the output and coupled with a piece of rounded UltraHex screwed into the input socket, presenting a more traditional electric linear actuator package. This arrangement situates the motor beside the actuator, allowing access to a rear mounting interface through the back of the MAX 180 Degree Gearbox.
