Need a plunger design that goes into a hole for about 4 inches deep with a little over 5 lbs. Gonna connect a stepper motor to it (or whatever gives good control) and the plunger has to fully exit the hole on the way back out (super slow). The whole thing is gonna be like 80% 3d printed so you can go crazy with the shapes and mount to wherever "ok" is on the pic. I need this done by next week or my boss at Raytheon is gonna have my ass.

Worm gear drive (or linear actuator) & limit switches.

I read this and was really confused on what kind of toilet needed a linear plunger.. then I realized this was not a plumbing question..

>> No.2017321

>>2017135
already tried that. worm gear driving a rack and pinion shaft that does the linear pushing, but the rack and pinon sticks out too far above the hole.

Then use another system, perhaps pneumatic with pressure sensors, optical feedback or hall effect sensors.

Pneumatic is out, gotta be full electric. no pneumatic allowed in room. I was hoping somene could suggest a small and cheap version of something wierd like pic related. Hurry they're gonna fire me otherwise! :(

I just copy off smarter people. I was thinking of the cam idea. but in the space allowed i didnt have much mechanical advantage. And you cant have a worm drive + cam lobe unless you put another 90 degrees force hangulation. Was hoping for .... oops got bored.

How the fuck is a cam going to help? I'm gonna have a +4" cam lobe lift and need to make room for like a foot of clearance on this tiny thing? That's like a valve from a yacht engine.

>sticks out too far above the hole
If there's not enough clearance above the hole you can transfer the direction of the motion. For example, if you uses a plate with a diagonal slot cut in it that had a bearing riding in it connected to the plunger, you could use side-to-side motion to make the plunger move up and down.

Yeah. i considered the linear actuator, but I need to stack these machine units, so having a big fucking dong sticking from the top of the highest point is a space sacrifice. But ultimately i think i have to go with a linear actuator. :(

What if the linear actuator was upside-down, on the back side, and was connected to the plunger with a bar through a slot?

This is an interesting idea anon. it doesnt seem any better than a "crankshaft + piston" combo but maybe it has some advantages in this orientation.
