help with electric slide bearing or something alike plz

[justanoob]

hi im not too sure if anyone will be able to help but worth a try anyway i have been asked if its possible to auto opener/closer on a box top. Specs of box top is like 150 cm wide but in 2 halves so each side 75cm and need it to slide out so basically 2x 75cm squares sliding away from each other if that makes sense im thinkin like a heavy duty slide bearing or something and putting a small motor to it they also asking if it can be like on a 13amp plug and when turned on it slides out and turnes off slides in so no like controller is needed. Hope this makes sense im on mobile at moment so when i get back to office i will try to do a drawing and post that too. Hope someone can help on this thank you in advance

So many options so little info ...Linear actuator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia... read this on numerous options of linear actuators which is where I might be looking first.

Hi i have searched for linea actuators but they have things im not familiar with so im struggking a lil cheers for advice

 

[Darkwood]

Google videos is full of DIY set-ups although not all are accurate most give the general theme, other options are pneumatic, hydraulic etc but you have given limited info so many unknowns it all just shots in the dark from us. You say auto; What is controlling the automation. I could make suggestion after suggestion but if your knowledge is limited its may be difficult or you to understand.

You need to put together a specification of what you want/need.
As DW said, anyone giving advice will just be guessing. I for one, will not play that game.

As Darkwood said, I think what you'll probably be looking for is an actuator, but without some precise design details we're peeing in the wind.

hi all im struggling uploading an image so im going to have to explain as best I can. the box top is 150cm wide piece of solid wood around 50mm thick thats 2 of 75cm wide each and around 25kg in weight which need to be slided outwards 65cm leaving 10cm on the frame then having a total opening of in the middle of 130cm hope this makes sense, im hoping to power it by means of a transformer and 13 amp plug then a rf remote or something like that. look forward to hearing from you and thank you again

Noob, Go away and think about the meaningless drivel you have written. Then think why we can’t help.
