Stay tuned, I decide to make a “clean” on my work area, man, I got to much tings for my space, So, in the future weeks or next month I got to put in the respective forum a list and photo of some tings I dont go to use, from photosensors, steppers motors, small dc motors, some du-bro wells, some assorted gears, IC’s, etc.
Of course small things, I can send it to USA for free, Big things and outside USA, well… we can think in someting.

Stay Alert! First Ask For It First Get IT!
Feel the powa!
I was thinking that power seat motors might be a possible solution, though they might pull some Amps. Might take wandering through a salvage yard for a while, or just call them to ask what they may have for how much.
pravoka…
Did you ever get rid of those big chain tracks? If you still have them, and want to stick them in the same box as the motor and lead-screw, I think I might have a use for them…
Power seat motors…
I thought about those, I tried using them back in my car stereo days… Standard problem though, they are almost never stand alone parts, always built into the seat… Remember back-in-the-day whey things were held together with screws and had individual parts instead of the motor being built directly into the chassis? --You could even just go to the hardware store and get a “switch” for your stove!
Update
Hey, I didn’t notice your link to the picture at first… I have never seen seat screw-jacks like that before, --as stand alone units. All the one’s I’ve tried to harvest before were all built in. Huh, might be worth a trip to the junk yard…
Here’s some pretty strong
Here’s some pretty strong looking Acme threaded screw and nut, just need motor and coupler.
Hey robo
Yeah, I saw those too… I get the catalog. A little TOO heavy-duty, at least when spun by a motor costing less than 10 bucks! Man, at the rate I’m going, walter is going to weigh 200 pounds when I’m done!
One gear?
You mght be able to get away with mounting 1 large gear to the end of the threaded rod and one small gear to the motor output, with a 10:1 ratio and a strong RC/Hobby motor you could probably spin the rod pretty well. A belt and pully might work too.
