Hello, I'm looking for a "weaker" linear actuator (one that can pull or push less than 5lbs) with around 6" of travel? All of the ones I've seen online push at a minimum of 28lbs!

Thanks

    This one isn't a whole lot better, but at the low end it's 100 Newtons, or 22.5 lbs of force:

    Key "linear actuator" into this search engine, and you should come up with a number of products from Herbach and Rademan:

    Consider·a reverse fulcrum --·one that makes life harder instead of easier,·because the·pivot is on the wrong side of the work.
