Hello all...
I am trying to design a simple pan and tilt system (as small as possible) for a camera (approx. 15-20lbs) and am looking for a little advice. First, I am having a hard time trying to find the motors that would work for this (high quality), any ideas? Second, as I need to run a linear actuator (Firgelli - PQ12), is that at all possible to run through the AX500... or do I need another circuit? I am a little confused on what it means under RC inputs 2 + 1 ancillary. Sorry, I am a mech engineer who hasn't worked with circuits in about 4-5 years.
Any help is greatly appreciated... |

We have published a few motor sources on our 3rd party links page at http://www.roboteq.com/links.html . Your load is relatively light so there should be plenty other motors that can do the job.
To answer you other questions, we need to know how the system will be made to move (computer control, operator joystick, remote control ...) and whether you want the system to operate in open loop (operator says start/stop/speed) or closed loop (ie: go to position). If closed loop, you will need to fit your system with a position sensor - typically a potentiometer.

The pan and tilt system will be made to move through a Futaba remote control, that is the plan any way.
Thanks
