Rack and Pinion Drive with integrated motor and stops

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Does anybody sell an inexpensive rack and pinion assembly with integrated motor and stops? If not, is there a motor with end stops that can be easily attached to a dual track rack/pinion? I want to do a motorized art cover for wall mounted tv.

Thanks

I'd look into the motoroized drapery hardware. You can get it for drapery as well as the more common shades.

Also take a look at "TV lift mechanisms"

+1  I've used their motors twice; fantastic product and reasonable.

Thank you for the recommendations. I sent them an email, but I don't think they have rack and pinion style actuator. This is what I am trying to do on a budget. It is basically a roller shade and a rack pinion actuator. I am trying to avoid buying the roller shade and actuator separate and I am looking for a supplier that offers dual rack and pinion actuator with a built in motor.

No luck with them. They don't sell rack/pinion style mechanisms. At this point I'll be happy with a rack and pinion assembly that has the roller guides integrated. This is the only thing that I found, but I want to be able to attach a motorized window roller shade as the drive and it does not appear to be possible with it:
