I'm a bit out of my usual line of work here - for a project I need a motor that can move a small platform (1 axis for now) quickly between different positions.
So I'm looking for a motor, ideally dc I guess and maybe controlled by an arduino, that
is not too powerful (roughly 100N range)
moves quickly back and forth (estimated max 0.5m/s or 1.5f/s) - not necessarily too accurate
Max movement range maybe 0.25m / 1 foot.
maybe control speed as well
Would I need a stepping motor or linear motor or ...?
Obviously bound by a budget (that I don't know yet as I will have to get an idea first and then apply for funding).
