Does anyone have a line or experience with small hydraulics. I'm looking at building a rack where I can remote the amps to slide out and/or flip over. I'd like to display a FAS, but need to turn it over so te heat sink is on top when I play it hard.
Comments, suggestions?

My recommendation is...
Install fans instead (
)
Have you thought about linear actuators?

Hydraulics are fine an dandy but linear actuators are where it's at.
I believe SPAL has a line, if not check Select Products.

That's the stuff. Thanks for the links...
A little pricey though. Gotta find a wholesaler.....

what i did at one time was use a spal window kit
and use the motor to turn a gear that was attached to the rack
which we built to pivot.
it worked good and once you put the stoppers the motor will not push it anymore. we used a timer to activate stop time on the motor.
just a thought
