Looks interesting. I think I can adapt this into what I need.
I am wondering what this can take @800rpm, and longevity. Time testing will tell.
And what I thought would be almost impossible, I was shown a few ways to tackle the problem.
Thankx EVERYBODY! Wish I would have found this site a long...
gruntguru: You are correct, I do mean 'eccentric'. I like the idea of the additional eccentrics, but as these being horizontal, I don't see them holding weight on a side load. (I could be wrong tho, I am NOT a mechanical engineer, but I get by. I am more of an electronic and optical engineer.)...

I will try to get a pic up tomorrow. This might help... Visualize a cup or glass on a coaster (the table) supported on it's edge at 4 equal points with 4 rods extending down. (This enables the table to hold a heavy weight, during a 4" orbital or circular motion, not putting a side-load...
I am needing to move a flat, horizontal table (that will hold a 30 pound container) in a 4" orbital (or circular) motion of about 800 RPM, but NOT SPINNING (Table must face the same direction when in operation).
I am planning on using a 1hp motor, vertically mounted, with a 2" offset cam (with...
