Acessories for linear actuator

thingiverse

These are accessories that I found useful for projects using linear actuators. Items are sized to fit the Firgelli "Classic" range (https://www.firgelliauto.com.au/products/light-duty-rod-actuator) although the concept would be applicable to other vendors.The following items are included:1) a ball swivel on the sliding end to account for out of plane motion in the driven component.2) a holder for a common size of limit switch (16x28mm) for position feedback. A rod with switch cam is shown but not included as an STL as this will be unique to each application3) support for the fixed end of the actuatorAn M6 hex socket cap screw is used as the output shaft of the ball swivel. Print two of the "Ball half.stl" bodies, place them around the screw head and slide into the "Swivel cap". Push the "Wear pad" behind the ball and slide onto the actuator shaft.The entire assembly is held together by an M6 screw through the hole in the end of the actuator.Materials will be application specific. I have used PLA and ABS sucessfully both with fairly high infill and wall numbers
