I am trying to find out if the linear actuators (small, large and XL) have a fixed number of rotations on the bottom axle connector in order to extend them fully?
I am guessing the small LA will take fewer turns?

2Does this answer your question? What's inside a linear actuator? – IvanSanchez Apr 28 '23 at 08:36

Not really, but the video added does so thanks one and all – maxos79 Mouse Apr 30 '23 at 12:35

I voted to leave this question open, I think LA's are complicated/interesting enough to have multiple (in my opinion unrelated) questions about them – Michael Verschaeve May 02 '23 at 11:45

I found Sariels video here helpful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A23yh-enhyI
Sariel states that all 3 LA's extend and retract at the same speed. Several sources state that the L linear actuator takes 26 revolutions to extend to its full 5 studs, so the small LA will take 15.6 revolutions to extend to its full 3 studs and the new XL linear actuator will take 41.6 revolutions to extend to its full 8 studs.
