Force Required

Based on your input, you will need an actuator that has atleast 5 lb's of force. This is becuase your load is 2 times closer to the pivot than the actuator is.

In this example the Actuator is doing the pushing movement. If the actuator is placed under the lever then it will be doing the pulling where the force requirements are exactly the same. For more information on second class lever's on a angle, check out our blog post on them here.
