Re: Robust way to rotate an 18 inch square plate 90 degrees.

How much does this "plate" weigh? How much time are you willing for this process to take? These two numbers can tell you how much energy per move and power during the move you need. Once you know these, you can quickly eliminate actuators which are too small or way too big.

Also, it seems strange to call something 1/6 as thick as it is in the horizontal direction a plate; is it really that thick?
