Overview
Compact Linear Table Actuator to be used for the Surge Axis in my upcoming 5DOF motion rig.
It is based around the same concept as the TL actuator, but based on linear bearings + rods as I do not have space constraints there and this keeps cost down.
It is assembled directly on top of 4080 and 4040 profiles, which will double as cross bracing for the lower frame of the rig. For extra stiffness laser cut T and L connector plates are used. This design allow the actuator to be built inside the lower frame and keep the total stack height of the rig low.
A 150mm profile is placed on top of the lead screw nut to act as interface to the rig. The height is calculated according to my rig design and should be perfectly lined up with the surge slider platform once assembled providing easier interface with it.

Use those blocks only as the top-front HGW block mounts. They have only 1mm layers shared between the 4 screws holding the assembly together so they are not as strung as the Heavy Duty ones!

Iteration of the 5780 Pro Sim Rig to upgrade it to full 5DOF motion platform. The original idea is upgradability and most of the parts from the original Lite Rig are to be reused.
