Title: My "pitch" mechanism
Post by: Caflyt on July 03, 2016, 11:09:54 AM
Working on my "pitch" mechanism.
It uses an extruded aluminum rail and three linear bearings. The center bearing is attached by a rod to the yoke assembly. The outer two bearings can only move outwards and are sprung together. The center bearing pushes against the outer bearing and the spring pulls it back to center. The Pistons dampen the movement. Initial tests are very good.
Here is a video link:
