Review on 🪑 Homend Electric Recliner with Actuator Mount by Owen Phi

Sometimes Revain behaves a little strange. As with all reviews, when I started this one, Revain asks you to rate certain categories. One of them is "Transparency", the other "Thickness". Hm. Well, I can't see through them at all, so they're not very transparent. As for thickness, well. They correspond to the stated size. So I think she's pretty fat. Although I'm not sure what that has to do with a linear actuator. Ok, enough nonsense. MDF CNC table. The table rests on movable arms that allow it to rotate to a vertical position and then retract against the wall. The table itself is quite heavy being almost 2 full size sheets of 3/4 MDF plus the weight of the CNC itself. I'd suggest it's in the 200lb range easy. I don't have accurate scales and haven't done the math to figure out how much force the actuators should be pulling and pushing, but they seem to have enough torque for this application. As you can see from the photo they don't pull straight so the forces are tricky. There is an audible strain at the points of the ride where they carry the most load, but not so much that they sound overloaded. I run them from a 30A 12V power supply, which is probably overkill, but I didn't want to blow up the power supply if they started drawing too much current. The levers rotate on 6 inch boat swivels that are pretty sturdy. In general I am very satisfied with the result of the project. I think it was the right drive choice. I just wish they were a little cheaper. Oh, one more thing. I believe the "stops" can be adjusted, but to do this the end cap has to be removed from the gear case which in turn means it has to be removed from the bracket. I haven't tried setting it up yet because as you can see it's quite difficult to access, especially when trying to set it up properly. Maybe I'll try if I get ambitious.
