Hi Frank & Hugh,
Looking at this diagram of the Lenco actuator
There seems very little room for attaching a rubber bellows to the end of
the piston shaft.
Possibly the last inch of the actuator body between the 2 O rings could be
cut off to give
more attachment room.
Also the motor compartment has a dividing wall between it & the gear /
piston
end restricting any oil flow. This would mean you'd have to drill into the
top of the gear
compartment & fit a nipple for a hose running to your external bellows
(that take up
the excess oil from the piston & bellows retracting stroke). You'd also
have to attach
the other end of the bellows to the section above the gears. And drill a
hole or series of holes
for the bellows to feed oil into & out of the gear compartment.
You wouldn't want to get any drill filings in the gear compartment because
it looks all sealed up.
Maybe there's a better option somewhere???
Alan
