Click For Summary
A mechanism is needed that allows for both a 90-degree rotation and vertical movement of a few millimeters. The discussion seeks alternative solutions to an existing design. Participants are encouraged to explore the reasons for seeking alternatives, including potential issues with current options. The focus remains on finding efficient 2-in-1 clamping systems that can achieve precise and versatile motion. Overall, the goal is to identify innovative mechanisms that fulfill these motion requirements.

Hello,
I would need mechanism which can do two motions, one rotation for 90 degrees or more and then vertically for few milimeters.
Is there some idea, something like this


Here is image of what I mean.

You've already found the answer so I'm not sure what your question is ?
 
My question is to find alternative solution.
 
What are the issues that cause you to be looking for an alternative?
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
