Re: Pushing the Bridge down

You might be able to use a window motor or the AM planetary gearmotor, you can do a quick check on the torque available using the motor data sheet linked at the bottom of this page

and then add a potentiometer to make a feedback loop, and with some programming you can make your own heavy duty servo.
