We will be constructing a gripper for a robot.
The gripper will have the ability to extend itself in length and width direction.
For this extending we will need linear actuators. Because we need fast and precise positioning we would need analog speed setpoint to the actuator, fieldbus setpoint speed setpoint, or the actuator may also be selfpositioning (a position setpoint is given to the actuator).
Does anyone has experience with such type of lineair actuators? Then please give us some tips on brands and types.

There are all kinds of linear actuator you can use but most importantly:
Did you consider payload variation on the robot ? Obviously the center of gravity is going to change
Did you consider arm vibration when extending/retracting actuator ? you might need time to let the arm settle
