pilot5 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Wasn't sure where to post such a request. I am having sever difficulties finding a solution to automate my chicken coop door, and was thinking that an old burnt out 206 governor linear actuator would be just perfect. I have located a 12V motor that will fit and can be set to a timer. So if there is anyone who has a retired 206 governor linear actuator sitting in the scrap heap, I will gladly pay the shipping. Send a PM. You would be doing me a great favor as well as the birds who provide a steady supply of fresh eggs. They would be very appreciative and will sleep through the night knowing that the local raccoons are being held at bay. Thanks in advance.

FREDDIE Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 try Princess auto for a actuator they have them that are 110 volt or use a old garage door opener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMike Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you were at all innovative, you'd have it connected to a Delorean, controlled by iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot5 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks Freddie, that one at Princess would do fine but I am in Kweebec until I leave and cannot get to Ontario to the closest Princess Auto. Just my luck. So whats the Kweebeck version of Princess Auto. Let me guess L'auto Princess! Checked Napa and No dice. P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMike Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 http://www.traction.com/en/viewpdf?cp=D17 Traction might have something.....but they are mostly heavy equipment/truck stuff. They used to be in St. Laurent back when I dealt with them, but their website says that they're in Longueuil now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bif Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Pilot, send me a PM to remind me, but the boys just cleared out a lot of our parts room and there may be one kicking around. I'm on time off at the moment, but I can check on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 If you have the motor, why not use a cable and pully? add in a limit switch and your done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
