Sounds like an excellent idea.
Neat, compact linear actuators with built-in adjustment, available from
robotics spinoffs... not expensive.
Eliminate much time/labor?
Replace the switches, sequencers,
limiters, many-piece-lines, pump, etc., with three actuators and one up-down
switch?
Assuming the rod side of the hydraulic main gear actuator is an area
presented to the hydraulic fluid of 1.5 sq inch, it would require an actuator
capable of exerting about 800 pounds of pull to an exact stop to hold up a
main gear.
Actually, it would require 6 actuators if one includes the doors.
