Anyone seen motorized faders smaller than the 60mm Alps?

Ideally I'd love to find some really small faders that are motorized.  In my dreams, I would find sliders that are this size that are motorized:

Anyone here ever seen anything like that?  Thanks!

Hello

I never see other than 100 and 60mm motor fader...
If room and design allow 60mm, you can scale servo as panel cut-out to whatever travel length you need.

No and not likely to find them... motorized faders are (were) premium features and mainly used on channel faders. 30mm is pretty small, where do you plan to fit the motor? How close together will these be?

Buy the smallest (cheapest) moving fader you can find, take one apart and see what it would take to scale it down. You might be able to roll your own by modifying 60mm moving faders to work with 30mm element, but will still take up too much room to space them close together.  Depending on the application/implementation you may need a stereo slide pot to provide a servo track.

If the moving faders are very important maybe scale your control surface larger... (raise the bridge, or lower the water).

Must it slide?

motorized pot, rotary:

Wow-Never seen that before! 

Yeah- I want to use sliders.  I have a few 60mm on their way to see what I'm dealing with with them in my hand.  I don't want to talk much more about this specific project until I have something to actually show off.

Sure you have. 1990s hi-fis had remote controls which made the VOLume knob actually turn. Kewl! This is how it was done. Go to the sleezy pawn-shop, ask about "no good" hi-fi, you can buy whole carcasses for a few dollars.

But if you must slide then this is not a good path.

I was never around those-that's really cool actually!  Interesting how infinite rotaries were able to totally replace that need, but the touch strip faders are still not good enough for real work (in my opinion),
