Warner Electric (linear) or Danaher Motion may be able to help. Price will be hard to match. I used some from Warner several years ago. It was a student project and they were $350-$500 just for materials.

Make one....Turn a threaded rod with a motor.

Jeff, have found this:

its a 27 ft-lb Torqe, if you shorten the arms to 6 inch, it can carry 54 lb.....I guess, you increase the Force by shorted the arm again, but you sacrifice the Transition speed.

Been looking for the same servo for my Real Helicopter to RC convertion project. keep us posted on you finding.

Indeed. That, plus a slide pot plus a beefed up insides of some servo ..will do it.
