four bar linkage
four bar linkage
(OP)
Hello,
Any ideas on a linkage to move a plate in horizontally (approx 6 ft) , stop, then raise vertically (approx 1 ft) I would like to have one drive (linear actuator, etc) for both motions
Maybe some four bar linkage? I cannot figure out a simple design.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks again. Tony

If you think this sketch may suit your taste, do a paper cutout of all the parts and use tacks as pins and turn it by hand to test it.

Look up "relative pole" methods for 4-bar design.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
