Re: [AVR-Chat] Platform Design for Camera

2007-01-25 by Thomas Keller

No, pneumatics is not a good choice, in terms of energy efficiency.

probably, depending on all factors, a stepper motor with a lead screw 
arrangement will do the job (and you don't need four, three will do the 
job, and with some clever design, maybe even two actuators).

There are also electrical linear actuators, but they tend to be pricey, 
so are probably not a good match for this application (which I presume 
is cost sensitive).
