What's the name of this motor?
« on: November 17, 2009, 07:41:52 PM »
I'm fairly sure they exist.

It's basically a regular motor that goes up/down (or subsequently left/right) instead of spinning.

Anyone know of these? I need one with a small footprint (1"x1" MAX)

Edit:
Using a flap, if you will.
Like it's a motor and it makes a flap, or something, move up and down.
Ideas?

Not a servo. Let me try to explain.

Instead of there being a spinning rod for the motor shaft, like a servo, it would be a rod that moves up and down really fast (depending on the motor speed).

Any ideas on how I could make something like this if it doesn't exist? Like, makeshift.

Only way i could think of making one is like a old steam train, attach a wheel to a motor and attach a rod to a peg on that, boom you got one that might work.

they are not motors. They are called solenoid's, well thats what they are called in the automotive business. I have them in my truck to pop the door open due to their being no door handles.

"linear actuator" is something you could look up.  solenoids are a type of linear actuator.. generally they take a lot of power.  a servo with a small cam or some type of linkage would be lighter duty.

Hmm no.

Example:
A remote controlled fish. Something to make the tail move left to right.
What could I use? Something I can control with PWM.

isn't a actuator the little bit that sticks out, like the actuator on a tact switch is the raised bit you press?

There's none that are as small as I need (<1") so I'm using a rumble motor from Radioshack, cutting the part that's on the shaft off, and using that motor with a circular disk type of thing and 2 rods to make it work how i want.

I think you're talking about using a cam.
