River City Sand & Gravel

I finally got back to the motorize the lock chamber gates project. This is the upper set, not sure I'm going to do the lower set at this point. Probably see how these work out. The motors are 65 rpm gear motors from servo city and they turn a 10-24 lead screw inside of the black delrin "piston" that is visible in the video. Going to add an extension to the controller box and paint the motor cover/mounts to match the rest of the chamber.


Stay tuned for a future video with a Barge entering the chamber using the new setup!
