Pneumatic/Hydraulic Turntable

Construct a Rotating Platform

Using the system demonstrated in Getting Started as as a set of guidelines, construct a rotating platform that is powered by hydraulic cylinders. 

  • Make appropriate substitutions for materials, for example, use plywood, masonite, foamcore or other stiff material for the base.  It has to be thick and rigid enough support the pivot pins.
  • If syringe holders are not available, they can be constructed from a solid material, such as wood, as shown below

  • Test the system

When you are done, make an appropriate entry in your course portfolio.
