06 Nov 2009 20:04 Linear actuator for footstep test rig

Hi-
I am trying to find a linear actuator to simulate a footstep onto a rubber slab. I want to set the test up with the actuator continuously repeating 'footsteps' for up to a week, I need a quick way to do this- was thinking about a wind screen wiper assembly but its too much and then came acress linear actuators. I need one with lots of power- at least 50Newtons but 200N would be better.

What do you think I can buy to do this?

What do you think of thishttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LINEAR-ACTUATOR-MADE-BY-LINAK-24v-611-kg-lift_W0QQitemZ160375292470QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Industrial_Automation_Control_ET?hash=item25571cc236#ht_1036wt_1167

Thanks for your help.
