Need ideas: Motorized platform back and forth movement

Post by MourningWood »

I'm looking to build a platform on a motor that has adjustable back and forth speed movement, and ability to be raised or sit flat. I have some ideas on how to raise it up, but stumped on the motor providing back and forth movement. I saw something similar for a baby rocker, but I don't think it can support me + doll.

Anyone have an idea? Was thinking a motor with a spindle with an oval piece attached, when spinning it will cause the platform to make the movement, but I don't think that will be strong enough for actual weight. :grab:

Try a search on eBay or similar for ‘high torque linear actuators’. Might be simpler and more reliable to use some sort of suspension for your doll with heavy duty exercise bands… 🤷‍♂️

Maybe car windshield wiper motor+gearbox? Those things have huge torque!

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into the linear actuator! I thought about resistance bands, and even suspending using springs. Still requires me make them move which ruins the immersion if that makes sense :razz:

I have a hard time believing that but I'm most likely wrong lol! I'll pull something off a car at a scrap yard and give it a try! Thanks for suggestion, if this works will be SUPER cheap way to go just pop one out of an old car. :D

How much are you willing to spend .......
I've got just the motor I think you need because I'm planning something very similar.
But I was thinking more of a pulley system so that my girl could ride me effortlessly.
I've got one of these motors but you can also get them used on ebay for a fair price

Maybe something can be done with a $100 fuck machine on Amazon - which actually is a linear actuator, but it's gonna be weird and gender-bending.
