Hello all,
I am looking into purchasing a motor to power a Hoekens linkage on a toy skiier I’m currently working on. (This what a Hoekens Linkage looks like: mekanizmalar.com/hoekens_linkage.html)
I have decided, for the prototype at least, to forego using a controller on the motor, and rather to use a simple on/off switch for the motor. My problem is that I am having some trouble selecting a motor to power it. Some of the criteria:
-Needs to be running on both sides, so either 2 motors or 1 motor that drives on both sides.
-Needs be something that I can connect a common battery to, like a 9V.
-RPM should be around 30.
-Torque is difficult to estimate on this type of linkage and the motion that it is doing, but I would assume that torque should be quite be decent. The Linkages will be on the scale of 5-10 centimeters.
-Fairly inexpensive, around 20 dollars total.
-I also need it in 2 weeks.
I was looking at something like this, but since I have limited DC motor experience, I’m not sure if this will suit the job correctly:

Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you all.
EDIT: I decided to make a rough sketch of the toy, just so you guys can get an image: i.imgur.com/RXHOhtX.png
