Tuesday, May 17th, 2011Amp Racks

what tools to use for a motorized amp rack?
What is the best/cheapest way to motorize an amp rack??
i know that but what brands are good/cheap and yes Nebraska
There's a lot that goes into doing it right.
You'll need a good linear actuator, various switches, and something to control it. A PLC (programmable logic controller) and alarm system with open outputs are the best choices. You'll also need some really good wiring and math skills. You'll need to figure out the actual presented load on your axis and use that to find an actuator that fits the load requirements.
For lighter loads you can use power antenna motors will work. They have all the stops and switches built in, usually. But, they can really only handle about a five to ten pound load.
You can get all of the supplies that you need from Ebay, McMaster-Carr or Grainger. These are about the cheapest places to get the supplies you'll need.
Keep in mind that there is no real way to do this job easily or cheaply. It requires a lot of planning and a substantial budget.
