Hi all, It has been a while since I finished a new MOC. But the model I've added to my (URL) website> today took me more than two years to build. And it has a different color than the previous ones: oranges. That was also the main reason it took so (...)

(...) I totally agree. I think their is one simple metal part inside a pneumatic ram, and that's mostly cylindrical. An LA must have it's ram,worm gear,worm gear rack, and maybe(hopefully) a bearing all made of metal. Seems like the usual Lego (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)

The only way I can see these being cheaper to produce is if they have no matel parts at all which would make them even worse. And yes you would need a means to power them throuh a series of gears and universal joints which I think could be more (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)

The more I think about the new linear actuator the more applications I think up for it, but I was just wondering is it actually going to be significantly cheaper to make than the pneumatic system? I know you won't need a pump, valve block or pipes, (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)
