Lift anyone!
Hii Everybody,
I am involved in a project and I need some guidance for my design.
Design Purpose:
I am trying to create/find a mechanism that will provide me with up-down motion. For example think of a match-box type rectangular box that needs to be moved up-down in y-direction. It probably needs to move up-down about 1 ft and I need a mechanism that can life 100 lbs weight.
Things I have thought of:
scissors-lift
some spring loaded mechanism
motor for up-down motion with gears
My problem:
I am not sure how to go about evaluating different mechanisms. Do you know any websites or resource that could help me with it? Or any suggestions or ideas as to how should i approach the problem and what mechanism you think is the best?
Thanks for the read. Appreciate your time and efforts:)
