This is a DIY 3D printed (high torque gearbox powered) powerful linear servo actuator which is that version 2 of the 3D printing gearbox powered linear actuator. ( • 3D printed Gearbox pow... )
This version has higher torque and also it's servo now.
I tested it to see the maximum force and it can push/pull 97 kg / 214 lb.

An important detail that I did not mention in the video is that you can operate this servo linear actuator with any motor you want. Endstops and potentiometer will work accordingly.

Alot of makers would probably have edited out that part where the tip of the hot soldering iron fell into the gears and you flicked it out with your bare fingers. The truth is that sorta stuff happens ALL THE TIME when building things 😁 so I'm glad you kept it in the vid. Awesome work, I've subscribed!
Thanks a lot! I actually dropped it one more time after that😁
I have one of these hot swap able iron and the same thing happened but for me I stop using it before since it look bad and when I try to see if it still usable it fail and the front part it only a hole now
My guy kept it real respect 👍💪
brings realism to a whole new level eh? lol
The first thing that came to mind is you could use the mechanism to make one of those stand up desks, that raises or lowers the desk at the press of a button.
Really well made! I'm excited to see this project evolve, and as always thanks for posting the CAD *as well* as the great video!
That brief moment when you say to yourself "My finger will heal, building this again will be more painful"
Lol
Awesome! Your 10-turn pot solution gave me an idea for a project I'm building. I was using a stepper motor for accuracy but the pot will give me the precision I need without the overhead of a stepper, plus more speed! Thanks.
that is an amazing project! We use actuators like this in the custom cars we build at my work. Can use them for compartment lids, and if you use PETG or ABS, you can use them in to lift the luggage compartment door or other things in the car, even motorize a manual car seat track, BOOM! Power seats!
I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this build and creation. I've printed several and used them to create automatic feeders for my goats and pigs. I'll post some videos soon.
Very nice build. I was amazed the gears held up through the tests. I was thinking from the first that using planetary gear box or boxes would be a better choice and it would be eazy to get more tork from a small motor and would still like to see that done. I am looking for something like this build to raise and lower solar panels on my RV, so they can 1) lay flat for travel and at night and 2) to alow them to track the sun as much as possible with RV not alway parked in the same direction. Thanks for the video and your time.
You’re definitely making me want to subscribe, this is phenomenal content!!!
Great tutorial, I love the idea behind it and the effort made to put it right. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot!
You could use some thrust bearings in that unit. I love it.
Outstanding work. Good engineering, execution and presentation.
Thanks a lot!
I really love your videos, the design , the explanation, I think this is the better use of 3D print , no print little ships xd Congrats your work its amazing , greatings from Mexico
This is so cool. I could think of alot of uses for this. Very nice 😁
Very good video and beautiful looking product. Well done
Very nice work, it surprised me that strenght of 3d printing is so much.
It's all about the design, if you know how to design with 3D printed plastics you can make many useful and wonderful things.
Actually this is a great option for making a diy height adjustable computer desk. Thanks
This is well done! Subscribed!!
Very nice video very instructive
this is very impressive. you got my sub my man
Thanks man!
If you wanted to make another 5 of these, you could make a 6DOF Stewart platform. Although its going to be slow 14 sec stroke... We use 3000RPM AC servomotors and 10mm pitch leadscrew that gives 500mm/s speeds with lifting capacity 160Kg ... 😁
Nice build!
Thanks!
That is a phenomenal build, and very entertaining! You earned another sub! I wonder could a waterproof version be implemented to create an automatic open/close gate system for the driveway?
Eline sağlık kardeş.
I would make a tiller sailboat autopilot system! just add a compass sensor, and an arduino to keep the bearing! very good work!
I like the colour, looks like a Belimo actuator.
Great! Thanks for sharing ! I always think about making a diy standing table, you think its possible to extend the extended lenght to something that can work in this situation ?
Making a "Heated Insert Press" is a good idea. It works in a similar manner to a Arbor Press, but with a soldering iron and tool for holding the insets while they are pressed. That way you get precise, square placement (And Less Burnt Fingers!)
yes i saw one of them in a few videos and they looked nice. Good idea! And Definitely worth making for fingers😅
I use my benchtop drill press as an arbor press. Just use a short piece of threaded rod (or cut the head off a longer screw) for whatever size insert you have and thread it on the insert then into the drill chuck. I just use a heat gun and hit the insert for approx. 20 seconds and then gently push into the plastic. Guides it in nice and straight. A little slower than other methods but it is a nice controlled way to do it with excellent results. Loosen and release the drill chuck as it's cooling and your ready for the next one.
With 6 of them you can make an Stewart platform and build your own simulator for cars and planes!

Good Job my Friend!
nice one bro , respect video ! thx
Excelente video saludos
Linear Actuators are nice to control windows remotely or just automate the opening and closing!
That was a very awesome project 🥳🥳🥳 this gears can lift me 🤣
Wow that's really awesome broh just look at the torque, 🤘 you can also make a little digging machine with that keep going... mate 👍
Powerful for creation
I know you can easily get threaded rods and nuts at a hardware store but if you order some proper acme theaded rod and a bronze acme nut you'll run more efficiently and lift more load.
yes you are right it could be better👍
vote for acme threaded rod
Consider using thrust bearings instead of ball bearings, they're better suited to this kind of load.
Because you can trusht them?
As a tip, i recomend you to buy and JBC SG1070, it's a lighter gas powered soldering iron, mini torch, and hot air blower, maybe not the best for a main solderer but it's a must have that never fails to have as backup. Like From Spain!
Very beautiful design! I wonder if I could take the gearbox and, instead of powering a linear actuator, have it at the base of a scissor lift and use that same bolt.
Good project well done bro.
Thanks man!
Fantastic work! Always impressed with your designs & mechanisms! 10:38 This may actually be the start to something you can do, hmm, maybe build a powerful robot with multiple Linear actuators?
Thanks a lot, Max! yes very strong can be built with them. actually, i’m waiting all the ideas 😀
Very nice! Good Jobski
Thanks
Güzel çalışma tebrikler.
teşekkürler
What 3d printer do you use? I want to get one and start making projects with gears but I'm afraid that lower budget printers might not be precise enough. Thanks for posting. Excellent video no doubt.
Hello and a happy new year! I have almost finished printing your design which is awesome!! I i would like to ask you what is the length of the rod? Also what are the length of the bolts? Thank you for sharing..!!
That's amazing, but I wonder why you didn't test the actuator pushing (not pulling) and holding, just in order to see how much weight it could hold (as for example if we wanted to use them as lift for hospital chair/beds, etc... Thank you!
amazing!
Çok güzel bir çalışma olmuş ellerinize sağlık. Size bir şey sormak istiyorum. Elimizde 100 kw ve 60 kw güç gereken iki dişli var . Bunları tasarlarken 60 kw'lık dişlinin 100 kw'lık diğer dişliyi döndürmesi mümkün müdür ya da 100 kW'lık dişli dönerken diğerinin 60 kw güç çekmesi için 40 kw'lık farkı kaybetmesi mi gerekiyor ( verim gibi sebeplerle) yoksa bunu sınırlayabilen bir makine elemanı var mıdır?
Tebrik ederim böyle yaratıcı videoların devamını bekliyoruz, yolun açık olsun. Aksan diyenlere de aldırma gayet anlaşılır bir konuşma.
Teşekkürler 🙏
You could make a small powered vice to hold soldering projects.
Genious idea.
Looks phallic.
This channel is awesome.
I immediately thought of a standing desk motor when I saw how powerful it is.
I actually like that idea but don't know how necessary
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're using a pot to track the movement. Then you don't need the limit switches since the pot will tell you when you're at the limits. Alternatively, you can use a optical rotary encoder (or magnetic) to track the position instead by homing to the limit switch and you wouldn't have to gear down as much to track it.
You can use the potentiometer to precisely position the actuator using a controller, but the limit switches act as a failsafe. And the encoder can be used for something similar, but you'll have to store the position in the controller constantly in case the power goes out, as opposed to a potentiometer that has built in memory.
Has Cubby Brocolli heard about you ? James Bond villian in the making.
For some reason, cross-threading interior threads is kind of satisfying to me... am I crazy for that?
Excellent! Must be a heavy Mic! A micro one? If 1/10 size, would it lift 10 kg....
muchas gracias por el excelente video. Lo siento, los archivos ya no estan en thingiverse,
pretty awesome
Thanks a lot!
Pretty freakin awesome video. I can't believe you make such nice cool things with great designs.. Yet have a printer that prints so badly.. Join the Voron train my dude!
Thanks man! yeah, tevo tarantula that i used since 2017 and needs some upgrades:D
baskılarda kullandığın filament tipi, Cura parametreleri, nozzle, yatak ısıları vb paylaşır mısın?
0:36 I use them since months ... why to worry about? No reason. But very nice piston. Congrats to nearly 100kg.
You can make adjustable table with 4 of them. It's overkill with about 100kg, but if 4 legs can hold about 400kg it looks very durable.
self leveling table
@@LuisElectronico good for a travel camper :D
Cool!
The tensile strength is really great but how about the compression strength?
a 4 dof sim racing motion rig will be great
I'd love to see a 3d printed can crusher that uses this
Can you make a video on how to make DC motor behave like a stepper motor it will be really useful for my project
You should try to make stewart platform out of this
It would be really cool to make it into an autopilot for a yacht (tillerpilot)!
AMIGO BOM DIA, E PARABÉNS PELO PROJETO GENIAL. GOSTARIA DE SABER ONDE EU CONSIGO O PROJETO DO CIRCUITO ELETRÔNICA QUE VOCÊ UTILIZOU PARA ACIONAR O SERVO MOTOR. VOCÊ PODERIA DIZER ONDE CONSEGUIU ? OBRIGADO. FRIEND GOOD DAY, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GENIAL PROJECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE DESIGN OF THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT YOU USED TO ACTIVATE THE SERVO MOTOR. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU GET IT? THANKS.
Can you please share the Arduino code and wiring diagram for the potentiometer? That's a clever way to control the position of the ram. I assume it will work fine with out the feedback control and gears by just using the limit switches for stops and/or safety.
Hey, cool stuff. There may be some layer separation in 3d prints at 7:45.... Hope you fix that
you can make automatic slider with beast load capacity 😱
What is the potentiometer for if you have limit switches? Perhaps, to convert it to servo control feedback?
I wonder how long something like this would last? Would it get worn out after a week or 2 or last really long?
Where can I find those cool inserts you were using?
imagine if you were powering the motor with the 12v 40 amp it sees often and how fast/powerful that would be would put the 3d print to the tests
Epic
Nice
Thanks
Hello my friend, You like this kind of videos :-). Nice review. You showed the details well. I find the prints to be very durable. Thanks. Stay healthy and happy. See you later. Big greetings.
Thanks a lot my friend. Glad to you like it. See you, greetings🤝
@@retsetman9698 :-) see you.
3d technology is amazing! witch 3d printer did you use?
All of them with Tevo tarantula
How much infill did you use for the gears? Btw nice work and great video!
Thanks man! The infill was 95% to save time
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me the connection diagram of moter, potentiometer, Arduino. Please reply. 😊
Using zinc plated threaded rod as model is ok, but on long term usage, zinc will start wear off and starts to peal, which will jam nut randomly. I had that issue on my home made cnc. Just for information...

i was thinking of making an active aero front lip spillter like the r31 gtr had could you please try that?
You could also take your potentiometer signal, and stop the motor when it reach a certain value. since you're going trough an Arduino already that's not a lot of code and nothing harder than you already did haha Nice build!
That'd be my solution because I'd rather change a code value than take something apart, but maybe he prefers limit switches and their non-software safety. Limit switches are usually wired to prevent the motor from moving in one direction once pressed, which is why they make sense in a factory setting where you don't want to trust a programmer with your life.
Solar tracker. Combine it with the low cost smaller opposing solar panel method.
How fast do you think it could be with a max torque (lift) of like 40 lbs?
can you please explan what is the sound at 9:30? I have a faulty actuator that sounds always like that and it rotates only one way thanks
The line actuater gear box would be good for a hydraulic press
great video! I'm new to your channel and would like to know how and what you chose for a 3D printer and software. I'm ready to make the leap to get a printer to add to my cnc router machining repertoire
Thanks man🙏 actually the printer is tevo tarantula that I used years😅 it has marlin v1.1.4 software. I use Cura for slicer. but also I use ender3v2 which is much better than tarantula. Cnc&3D printer sounds fun😀
wow almost 100 kg🎉
Can you make a soda can crusher with a small motor that's geared for torque? Thanks
Dang did you have bad luck with the soldering irons, were you pushing them too hard or did you just buy cheap ones? I want to know because I decided to get a Weber in the hopes of avoiding soldering iron headaches like these. Also I hope the one exploding didn't hurt you at all.
I'm fine, thanks a lot. Just bad luck and it was old. I've been using it for almost 3 years.
@@retsetman9698 ah okay, well good to know.
Automated Walnut crusher ;-)
wow 97kg I wasn't expected the motor to be the part that gave out first
that's what i was thinking too
Yep, I was waiting for some stripped plastic gears in that final test
That is cool! I also made gearbox and it’s very noisy. Do you have any thoughts how to make gears silently?
You can use oil, it will reduce the noise a bit and make sure the bearings are aligned properly. Another option is a magnetic gearbox or belt drive check out my magnetic gearbox videos, maybe you can get high torque if done well
@@retsetman9698 Thank you, I'm using graphite grease, maybee I should try oil too. Yes, I've already seen your magnetic gearbox before. I subscribed on the channel from that video :) But, suddenly, magnets don't fit in my small gearbox for a toy train.
