RE: Electric Ramp ?

["Hawes,Timothy Edward \(GEG\)" <haweste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gareth,

These devices came out of a previous thread for door locking.=20
I reckon you could bury a couple of these solenoids into the floor and
have=
Cbus/Comfort energise them to raise/lower the planks ? They have 25mm trav=
el, although you could increase this with a lever mechanism etc. Arranging
=
the hole in the floor & plank-travel so that the planks raise
vertically, r=
ather than a sloping ramp is maybe better. Let me know if you want a
sketch=
:-)

HTH,

Tim.

Top idea, found www.sempal.co.uk who do a 4-solenoid kit for =A376.  It
has=
4 solenoids with 25mm bolt travel. Apparently it just needs a 1/2 second 1=
2v pulse to close and an inverted pulse to open. Should be able to work
tha=
t one out (famous last words).
