DART is a strong, fast, linear actuator designed by the engineers at iR3 Creative. It's driven by a CIM Motor and uses a 0.2 inch pitch ACME lead screw to actuate an aluminum tube 6 inches. Two different sensor feedback methods are available with this actuator, with a potentiometer included in the assembly. An optional DART Sensor Pack is available (but not included), using hall effect sensors detecting a moving magnet near the lead screw nut. iR3 Creative developed this actuator in 2014, and it has received a design upgrade for a new release in January of 2016. This design upgrade focused on cost savings compared to the previous design, and therefore the price has been dropped by over $80. This version functions the same as the previous version, but the internal parts are unique and different from the past version. This is why we have re-numbered this version to have an "a" as the suffix of the part number, am-3072a. The steel, double leaded screw has a 0.50" O.D., a 0.20" lead, and 53% efficiency. The 6" stroke assembly weighs approximately 3.0 lbs without the CIM motor and 5.8 lbs with. There is a 12" version ( am-3072a) of this same DART actuator if you wish to have a longer stroke.
Linear actuators are not meant to be side loaded. The use of rod ends is encouraged to avoid these type of loads. This product is shipped unassembled. Please see the assembly instructions for how to put this product together. We chose to ship this product unassembled in order to be able to offer it at a low price.
Note: The CIM Motor (am-0255) and the DART Sensor Kit (am-3077a) are NOT included in this product, and need to be purchased separately.

This is a strong fast actuator that is a little challenging to put together
The DART actuator shipped on time, and is a quality product. Exactly what we needed for this year's challenge.
