On the right track!

The motor would be "rocking" a small laser diode module back and forth about 30 times per second. I can't go in a complete circle due to difficulties with supplying power to the laser and weight. The rocking at that speed can't hit on either side. It would be too violent and destroy the laser.

Yes. About a 45 to 60 degree arc rapidly repeating. I need to get about 30 arcs per second.

I am looking for a high speed oscillating motor (if such a thing exists) that is small and light for a 12v application. If it doesn't exist, does anyone know of an easy gear assembly to accomplish the task?<br> Thanks!
