Push rod with motor

[nursena_nnur]

I want the Arduino motor to move one bar using Arduino, how can I do this?Which materials should I use and how?

What is task of your project in real life?

[horace]

use a linear actuator?

[Paul_KD7HB]

Possibly a rack and pinion turned by your motor?

• Attach a crankshaft to a motor shaft, attach a metal rod to the crank shaft (bicycle spoke ?).
  Shaft rotates, rod goes in and out.

• Better still use a servo motor with a push rod connected to the horn.

To move a bar using an Arduino and a motor, you need to choose the right motor type; DC motor (e.g Faulhaber 2237S012CXR), stepper motor (Adafruit 324), or servo motor (Adafruit 154). DC motors are simple but less precise, while stepper motors offer better control, and servo motors are ideal for precise angular positioning. A motor driver, such as an H-bridge, is necessary for interfacing the motor with the Arduino, along with a power supply that matches the motor's voltage requirements.

Design your mechanism based on the required motion. For linear movement, use a linear actuator or a rack-and-pinion mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear motion. For rotational movement, attach the bar directly to the motor or use gears to adjust torque. Incorporate limit switches or position sensors to ensure accurate positioning and controlled movement.

In terms of programming, control a DC motor using PWM to adjust speed and direction. For stepper motors, use a stepper driver to move the bar with precise steps, while servo motors can be controlled by setting specific angles.

@nursena_nnur ... Have you looked at using a solenoid?

Just use a servo as is done everyday in say rc aircraft.
