what do you call it, where do you buy .. sketch

Posted by J.D. (A) on December 18, 2005 at 16:09:17

Forgive the quickie sketches here, but what do you call devices like these ?
I thought maybe someone would recognize these (from some outside-audio zone) and chime in ....

In my Dual-In-A-Thousand-Pieces project, I'm looking for something like these kinds of things to :

a) adjust belt tension by moving motor in small repeatable increments
b) raise / lower arm platform, also in small, smooth amounts
c) set overhang for arm board, as above

We're talking something fairly small in both cases, but beefy, though, and totally non-slip (or maybe lockable ?) and preferably made of sturdy corrosion-resitant metal (like aluminum, brass, or some combination).....

The motor one would only need about an inch of travel, while the VTA and Overhang ones would want something more in the neighborhood of maybe 2 inches....

I keep running into brain-blocks about how to concoct this kind of widget, and I know they exist in some other field. Any ideas ?

( Even "what to call them" would help at this point ... )
