Hi all struggling a little bit with a movement I want to achieve. Clockwise then anticlockwise through 90 degrees. Any help?

Have you looked at a Scotch Yoke? They were once popular on washing machines and used for that back and forth motion. A quick internet search will get you a few .gifs plus some good pictures. All you will have to do is attach a lever to the yoke and you will have your motion. Paul

Hi there,
More detail please, what is being moved, what sort of movement, rotation, linear, how far, how fast, uniform speed ? Can you elaborate ? Gus

^---- What Gus said. There are several mechanisms that will give a motion that generally matches your description, but may not do exactly what you want. What exactly do you need it to do?

Hi Stuart,
I don't yet have a clear picture of what you are trying to achieve. What stage is your automata, photos possible ? If not, sketches ? Is the upper arm fixed, the arm fully extended at the start, then raised to chest height by bending from the elbow ? Regards, Gus
