Back drivable Belt Driven Linear Actuator
« on: February 21, 2010, 11:15:12 PM »
Hi,

I'm trying to find out more about belt-driven linear actuators. I'm wondering are they are back-drivable with a motor (An average person is able to move the slider by hand if the motor is not being driven)?

Thanks

It depends on the gearbox. V-belts on their own are pretty easy to drive by hand.
