Where can I get an actuator and all the accessories for it?
I’ve built a few simple actuator setups in the past — like a single linear actuator to lift a small panel — but now I’m working on a larger project that needs multiple actuators moving in coordination. I want them to move in specific sequences based on sensors and input triggers, and not just manual button presses. I understand regular actuators move linearly, but I’m stuck on how to actually control them together in a smarter way.

That’s a smart next step — once you move past point‑to‑point control and need logic, sequences, and safety limits, you really need a control system rather than random switches or hard‑wired circuits. What helped me was looking at a curated collection of control system components specifically made to work with motion hardware like actuators. On the control systems page, you’ll find controllers, logic modules, and interface boards that let you program movement patterns, respond to sensor input, and coordinate multiple actuators: actuator accessories https://www.progressiveautomations.com/en-eu/collections/control-systems It gave me a solid idea of what’s available and what kind of features to look for, like support for limit switches and multi‑axis sequencing.
