Doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of but just 'cause I don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist.asaper said:
Have you considered using a servo motor?asaper said:Hi everyone, learning a bit of hands on engineering and have no idea what to search in order to buy what is needed. I am looking for a motor that can be activated by a simple switch on a wire that will rotate a piece of metal 90 . degrees. Excuse the poor image but hopefully someone can point me in right direction for this project.
A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It works by using magnets and electromagnets to create rotational motion.
A motor can be attached to a mechanical system, such as a gear or pulley, that rotates a shaft at a specific angle. By controlling the speed and direction of the motor, the object attached to the shaft can be moved 90 degrees.
Some common types of motors used for this purpose include servo motors, stepper motors, and DC motors.
The weight and size of the object being moved, the required speed and precision of the movement, and the power source available are all important factors to consider when choosing a motor.
It is important to ensure that the motor is properly mounted and secured to prevent any accidents or injuries. Additionally, the power supply should be turned off and the motor should be disconnected before making any adjustments or repairs.
