Nice...but what are they going to do if they realy need to work? I mean like in the video is fine but thats on a lift with no tension or stress on the locker/ diff ...i think that if they would be activated while driving in mud or heavy terrain and need to hold the presure they will blow right off the housing
Good morning
it's very interesting
I don't think there is a failure because there is no significant effort when the position is locked
with a protective sheet to avoid shocks it will be perfect
Did you buy them or make them?
Could you give me a reference or contact?
THANKS
Eric
It is just a off the shelf actuator used for years on chevys. I made a 3d printed adapter but I plan to machine some out of aluminum when I have time on the machines (I own a machine shop) Considering adding a threaded on section of tube as a protective cover.
Still looking for a cheaper option for the connector but for now you can use this. I think it is wired incorrectly but still gets you the connector. I did not do much research on it yet as I wanted to test first but I am sure there are cheaper ways to get it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001C ... 0DER&psc=1

This was used for around 20 years or so in chevys for basically the exact same application (shifting a fork to engage 4x4) so I doubt it will "blow off"
While this actuator works it has a pretty small sweet spot so I am looking into some other options. I found a newer model of this that has a stiffer spring which will make it work better than the first one I posted but I also have another option coming for testing, will update when I settle on one.
