Designing High-Performance Linear Actuators: Speed & Stiffness for my Juggling Robot | PDJ#19

In this video we dive into the design process of creating high-performance linear actuators for my juggling robot project! These actuators are not only fast but also super stiff, ensuring the robot can juggle balls with precision and ease.

In this video, we'll explore:

The need for high-performance linear actuators in a juggling robot
Major design iterations
Key components of the final design and their unique features
A step-by-step guide on how to build the linear actuator
Testing the actuator: speed and endurance tests
Potential issues and challenges with the design


Join me on this journey as we uncover the secrets behind designing powerful linear actuators. I hope you find this helpful if you're on the journey of making your own linear actuators!
