Pulling action

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone might be able to help, I’m working on a project and I need to replicate a human pulling type action but quite a short stroke, maybe 30mm, connected to a 8-12v front door bell type push. I’ve tried an 8v and 12v actuator with a 30mm stroke but it’s just too powerful and I can’t find a way of slowing it down. I also need it to go in and out at least once per push (really I need a way to to do it twice per push of the bell push). I’m hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction, quite happy to do a bit of trial and error just not quite sure where to start.

Hi,

Could you post a picture/diagram showing your actual setup ? and what is the current actuator you are using ?

Do you mean that the actuator is too fast for the application or it has more torque than it should ?
