Need help with Levers...

[jwb]

Probably in the wrong section but not sure where else to ask this.

I need to use an actuator sitting in a horizontal plane (because of clearance issues) to affect vertical movement in something I am building.

I know I need to use lever arms and pivots but not sure how to proceed.

Sketches, pictures, diagrams, components, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, any sort of visual description of what you are trying to accomplish might help immensely with your questions. Best regards, Allan

When you learn to draw, all those problems become self evident and solve themselves.:D
