    Hi C-Bag, I suppose a linear actuator is basically an electric version of a hydraulic ram, just a lot lighter duty and with fewer moving parts. They are used in so many mass produced machines nowadays, from small (such as dvd drives and printers) to more robust ones in electric lift chairs, beds etc. It seems such a shame to just discard these things when the original machine they are a part of is no longer needed. I like your idea of a lift table or maybe a variable height workbench, anything to save strain on the muscles must be a good idea.
