Sorry I'm just now seeing this, and late to the party is just fine ๐Ÿ˜ I'm looking at redesigning it this year anyways!

I'm not sure if this is similar to what you meant by an accordion covering, but what we did was design a mold that we 3D printed and poured silicone into to create a seal/cover that will stretch as the piston of the linear actuator slides in and out.

I did as well for my daily driver school laptop and I've been loving it so much. I'm considering switching my desktop to Linux as well over the summer, or dual booting at the very least

Thanks for all your responses! I should have mentioned that pneumatics and hydraulics are off the table at this time.

Right now we're thinking of manufacturing a flexible seal that can travel with the rod while maintaining a seal with the housing. That might be over engineering a bit, but we'll be doing some testing this week to see how it goes!

 

Hello lemgineers!

I'm working on designing a claw that can be operated underwater. The plan is to use a linear actuator in a waterproof housing. The main issue is allowing the shaft to slide through without causing a leak. What's the best way to go about this?

I'm really interested to know what the environmental impact of this could be compared to conventional fuel sources

I never actually got around to playing it myself, but as a kid I loved watching my dad play it on PS1. I still to this day listen to the banger music it has on a regular basis. I had no idea there was an HD Remaster, I'll have to check that out!!
