    ganging linear actuators

    Thanks Mike My loads and requirements are similar to the posted link. This is also why I try to stay away from chains. I find Jack screws work better in tension, but to build a frame to hang from cost money. A profile guide way will prevent some of the splaying that Itsmoked saw on his chains...

    removeable shaft retainers

    thanks Cory But the customer need to be able to remove this protective panel often and the retaining rings don't allow for easy removal. I am considering a grommet, one that will be captivated by the panel and create enough friction to grab the 1/8 dia shaft. Is there an e-ring that will snap...

    removeable shaft retainers

    I have a problem. I need mount a thin 4 x 10 inch plate onto four 1/8" dia unthreaded shafts, and have the ability to remove the plate often. I was thinking of using a detent, or spring shape, can anyone help me? thanks Art
