I am working on a personal project to Automate Manual Single crank hospital bed by using a DC Stepper Motor and Arduino. I wish to use a DC stepper motor coupled to the crank shaft and use push buttons/coupling and Arduino to control the motor, AC/DC converter and an external power supply as per requirement of motor.
Based on my calculations of required torque, ~50NM rated motor is required with slow speed.
I want to know what would be the best motor & associated accessories for this application.
I have looked up online and most automated hospital beds use a linear motor. Im not sure how it can be assembled onto my system. I feel incorporating a rotary motor would reduce the amount of hardware changes needed. Please suggest best possible approach to materialize this project soon.
Thanks.
