Greetings!
I am building a motorized camera rig, Like a “bullet time” apparatus.
Essentially a ceiling fan.
It will be mounted to the “ceiling” of our rig.
The motor will drive an arm with a 5’ radius
The total weight will be ~75 pounds with arm, cameras and counterweight at its minimum, and ~200 pounds at its max.
We need to turn at a max of 15rpm.
We need variable speed from 0-15 rpm, forward, reverse and stop.
We need a position sensor (encoder?)
It needs to be robust enough for continuous duty for up to 8 hours per session.
It needs to be robust enough to handle ambient temperatures up to 110F.
This rig will be used in a very dusty environment. I am planning to build an enclosure for the motor. If the motor needs it, I will build air filter and fan into the enclosure.
The “arms” for the rig will be 80/20 series 1545 extrusion.
So, I am looking for :
The right motor
Gear drive or belt drive if needed
Power supply
Controller
Wiring ( i would like to be able to plug power supply and control wiring into the enclosure)
Bushings
Flanges/ bearings
Couplings
Mounting plates
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joel P
