- TL;DR Summary
- Lift from a horizontal motor shaft
I am trying to build a device that will push up a small piece of wood (attached to a weight) from its’ base to support 10 pounds. I would only need to move 1 to 2 inches. My device would be about 1 - 2 feet wide. I would use perhaps this motor:
Kohree 12V DC Gear Motor 30RPM Small High Torque Electric Motor 37mm GearBox
I would want to mount the motor horizontally but this is where my problem begins. How could I move the wood weight up horizontally at a reasonable price? Perhaps using gears? I cannot use an actuator because the price would be prohibitive.
I was wondering if anyone could impart a rough solution. Even just a few keywords or concepts could help me jump start my mind to the next level.
