Re: Remote operation of motors

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I think Al's suggestion of the A/C Solenoid wins for easiest implementation.

Good thing is the table stays on the set for the entire play, so no need for attaching/detaching umbilical. Controlling it from a non-dim light circuit also helps since there is a circuit to a nearby plug on the floor.

Follow up question, on the McMaster page for the solenoids, they have this attribute: Force, oz @ 1/8" Stroke. Any thoughts on what that means? For example if the solenoid has a 40oz Force rating and a 1" stroke, does that mean I get 320oz of force (40oz x 8)? Or do I get 5oz of force (40oz / 8)?
