Title: telescopic actuators
Post by: badboi on June 08, 2009, 09:56:23 PM

Im looking for linear - telescopic actuators

Ideally, they would extend 3x length and be very durable

does anyone know of a manufacturer or supplier of these actuators?

thanks
dave

im more looking for something like this

NASA's TeTWalker Robot Prototype (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDT8uE2gpys#lq-hq)
