Unlike regular linear actuators that move in a particular direction when a voltage is applied, this custom-built linear servo actuator provides precise and repeatable movements that can be easily controlled. It's called a servo actuator because it features a feedback loop system through which we can control the actuator output motion accurately.

Unlike regular servos that have limited motion of 180 or 270 degrees, this one has unlimited range of 360 degrees and in addition to that we have the ability to adjust the range of the rotation to whatever value we need. We can also set a custom center point, we can adjust the responsiveness, it has continuous rotation mode and it can be controlled through an analog input, digital input from a RC receiver and using the serial monitor from our PC. 00:00 Overview 02:14 How this Linear Actuator Works 03:20 3D Model Design 08:20 3D Printing 09:46 Assembling 17:57 Custom Servo Controller PCB 19:54 Code 22:43 Testing Visit HowToMechatronics.com for more Tutorials, Tips, Projects and How It Works videos: ► http://howtomechatronics.com/ Like my page on Facebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/howtomechatronics
