Kitronik Linear Actuator Kit with 180° Servo
Convert servo rotation to linear motion with this Kitronik actuator kit. Includes 180° servo & fixings. Ideal for micro:bit, Arduino & Raspberry Pi projects.
The Kitronik Linear Actuator Kit is a versatile mechanism designed for converting rotational servo movement into precise linear motion. Perfect for robotics and automation projects, this kit converts the 180-degree circular motion of the included FS90 servo into controlled back-and-forth linear travel. This allows you to add horizontal or vertical movement to your creations, opening up a world of possibilities for dynamic builds.
The actuator is laser-cut from durable 5mm clear blue acrylic sheet, the same robust material used in the popular servo-powered Klaw gripper. This ensures a strong yet lightweight construction that is easy to assemble and integrate into your projects. The kit is supplied complete with all necessary components, including the linear actuator parts, a 180-degree micro servo, and all required fixings.
Applications
This linear actuator is incredibly useful for a wide range of applications, from hobbyist projects to educational demonstrations. It is ideal for building robots, creating automated button switches, constructing steering racks for buggies, or acting as a point switcher on model railways. It can also bring life to diorama displays or be used in custom automated systems. In industry and consumer electronics, similar actuators are found in valves, cam mechanisms, and disk drives.
