I wonder if instead of machined spines, the cup could be made from a sheet stamping with the splines simply crimped into the sheet. (Although that wouldn't help Andy with making a homemade one.)

I've been pondering this for a while now, wondering if there's a design shape that has been missed. In terms of a fresh design, things that could be done; - increase the length of the cup - put cutouts in strategic places - use a cone rather than a cup - make the cup in more than one piece (flexspline +CV bearing) On Tue, 5 Jan 2021 at 19:28, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > I bought an FHA-17C actuator from eBay.
