strong textHi looking for a smooth/extra low noise vertical motor that has a range of around 12inches up and down motion that can lift around 400 pounds? Any help would be appreciated…
You indicate “vertical motor” - do you mean linear actuator as opposed to rotational? It’s rare that linear actuators have a decibel rating or are designed to be quiet (check specs just in case). https://www.robotshop.com/en/actuators.html
If your load is 400 lbs, then the actuator needs to be able to lift even more to be safe.
