Maybe wrong forum, but I thought I would try
Attached is a rough(ok very rough) drawing of another project I am working on.
Hoping to find someone with a bit more engineering experience or physics knowledge than I.
Idea is to have gas shocks lifting the lid(E)
The base(F) is stationary.
I would like to have a motor(stepper,servo,solenoid) attached to gears/pulley to close the lid.
If you can understand my drawing the idea I had is like a scissor lift, with the solenoid(?) attached to the wall of the base.
If I use a stepper motor what is my formula to figure out the torque needed?
Obviously you need more information to finish this calculation. I am away from the project right now so I cant give you exact variables.
I dont have motors ordered. Still in theory stage.
Shock angle (45)
Lid (30lbs)
Shock pressure x2( 65lbs?)
Please forgive the awful drawing skills
Any thoughts?
