Help any mechanical engineers in the group..

Posted by BobReeves on February 07, 2006 at 10:12:16 from (70.184.21.197):

Say you have a hydraulic cylinder with a 4 inch stroke and you need to move 6 pieces of steel ( 1/2 x 2 x 12 spaced about a foot apart ) straight up (vertical) 5 inches. It would also be better (easier to mount) if the cylinder was laying flat instead of vertical. What combination of levers, cams etc. would one need to make in order to accomplish the objective.

Have been thinking about rotating a long piece of pipe with levers off the pipe to raise the steel shanks but I get too much horizontal movement where the lever would pin to the shank to make it work.

Any ideas?
