An other rotating monitor

GORF,
This is great...very simple and in the same league from a cost standpoint as the popular fiction setups that DNA Dan/Top Jimmy pioneered (that's what I currently have). So quick question, do you have the entire weight of the monitor on the shaft of the servo or is there a lazy susan bearing or something providing support that we can't see from the pictures? If a 24" monitor is being supported (and rotated by just a direct connection to the shaft of a servo, we that's damn impressive. Do you have any other pics of the linkage/mount that you fabricated? Did you get this into a cab and if so how's it holding up?
Thanks and again, great work!

I would like to see more pictures of the mounting and setup. I know the R/C servos are durable but I don't think you could mount the weight of the monitor directly to the servo. The picture posted looks like that is how it is ... long term daily use that way would for sure shorten the life.
Thanks

Arg! It's hard to take a good picture... I'm building a slim cabinet. So it does'nt have a lot of clearance. Hope it help.
The monitor is supported by a vertical bearing and a servo hub who fit perfectly in the bearing. It's not mounted at the moment but I will post pics when it does.
Ask if you need more detail.

Ahh...Now it makes more sense ;D
Really cool! Can you provide model/spec info for the bearing & hub or the source of it? That would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

The servo hub come from there https://www.servocity.com/html/servo_shaft_hub___500__.html#.VBi2YcuV2Ag
I took the bearing on ebay. It was about 6$ and free shipping. Anyway, just find a bearing with an hole the size of the hub.
