Hey folks, wondering if anyone here has tried using the track-style linear actuators in projects where space is really limited? I’m trying to automate a sliding drawer system in my van conversion, and the usual rod-style actuators don’t work well since I can’t have any extra length extending beyond the stroke. I came across this track model that looks promising, but I’ve never used anything like it. Curious how smooth and consistent the motion is, especially with regular daily use.

Sometimes I scroll through these forums just to get ideas for workshop hacks. It’s wild how many automation options are out there now — way beyond what we had even 5 years ago. I’m not even building anything at the moment, but it’s fun seeing what others come up with, especially when they manage to pull it off cleanly without bulky hardware sticking out everywhere.
