I am looking for a device to provide back and forth linear movement (like a cylinder) with a throw of 4 to 5 inches. I want to automate my dust collection system in my woodworking shop. Any ideas? I'm still in school for Electronics, and I don't really have much experience in the field. Thanks, Bobby
 

There exist many linear actuators that can do this. You have to decide what travel speed you need, what accuracy, how much force...
