    Assistance needed: 90 degree vertical USB A Female Receptacle Left and Right help

    I am trying to locate a MATCHING pair of 90 degree USB vertical USB A Female Receptacle in both left and right. We have a circuit board that we want the USBs that go into it to be back to back. Does anyone know of such a set? I have done some pretty extensive searches though have not had a lot...

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    That's the requirement. The required feedback time is very short.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    Sense position and feedback electrically. Be able to move the switch manually but also have a way of actuating it bi directionally electrically.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    So that compounds the issue. We actually need to be able to sense the position of someone manually moves it.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    That's my fall back :). The time frame for getting this ready is far shorter than I hoped for if there was nothing out there. I'll report back what we end up doing.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    There is nothing "wrong" with that method... it just doesn't fit the "disney" magic need we are shooting for. We want to be able to move the switch, the physical movement is an "effect" we are going for.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    That looks great but from what I can tell the switch isn't moved, just the status. It may work. I don't have to execute till this Wednesday so I'll keep my ear close to the ground invade anyone has another idea though this is top on my list now. Thank you J!

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    Haha. Understood. I found a motorized auto switch over switch from abb but I think the cost is about 10 times that of the one your recommended. I still need bi directionality but it simply may not exist.

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    Very close! I need to be able to toggle it either way. From what I can tell this has a "release" capability but it's only one way. I full realize this may not exist, just wanted to see if people smarter than me had any ideas :)

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    Thank you all for the responses! From a practical perspective I completely agree that this is not the way to do it. My problem is I'm going for a "Disney" type solution in that the user can manipulate the toggle but I can back drive it too. Hard to explain in full here but I'm hoping I'm giving...

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    In looking at it more... it would effectively be a motorized switch... either rotary or toggle. Any inputs from anyone? Thanks in advance! -David

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    Thank you Sir, I am looking for a switch similair to this: http://www.xurui-electronic.com/9-toggle-switch/1-16c.jpg It is for a technology demo. We want a user to be able to throw the switch and sense its position however we also want to ability to change the switch via a computer. Does...

    Two-way back driven electric switch

    I am curious if anyone knows of a two way mechanical switch that can be manipulated via a person and an electrical signal? I want to be able to activate the switch but back drive it to reset it if no user is present too. I can clarify and my apologies if I have missed a detail. Thank you in...

    USB Rotary Table?

    Does anyone know of a rotary table manufacturer that is USB capable and can give position data? I am trying to prototype a test system but I need the PC that will be running the system to command the tables position and receive information about where it is as well. Any ideas or known...

    Hardened ground brass washer in place of a thrust bearing?

    The thickness isnt problematic but the OD is. The only one we can accommodate is 15.3 or smaller. Maybe a smidge larger. Ill take recommendations if anyone has them though :) Best, David

    Hardened ground brass washer in place of a thrust bearing?

    Mike, We only were able to find one company after days of searching who carried the bearing we needed. When I wrote them for the lead time they stated I needed to purchase that quantity even though they sell them in single units. The specs were: Rotating Bore (d1) (mm): 10.000 OD (D1)...

    electro-mechanical linkage help?

    So one idea I have had is using a master/slave servo motor configuration with torque transducers on the shaft heads. Then tying the torque transducers into to the control loop and making the system bi-directional by using the higher loaded motor to be the master. The concern I have is if there...

    Hardened ground brass washer in place of a thrust bearing?

    sorry, the thrust washers cost 5 dollars, the bearings cost $550 if you buy one, $50 if you buy in bulk but the minimum order is 30,000 units. So since I only need 10 I am going to machine them with out the groove. I figure it will be smoother then a bronze thrust washer and at 2 lbs wear should...
