Does anyone out there know of an electromagnetic device that is capable of producing large amounts of force (>200 ft. lbs.) within a high amount of accuracy (+-.001 in.). I know that this may not be possible but that's what makes this project oh so much fun. Also I heard that peizo-electric crystals are capable of fairly amazing feats like this. Can someone with any knowledge of these please post or Email me. Thank You in advance. Robert Ryan Umass

First you ask for a device to produce force, then you give the output value in units of energy (no, it's not torque), and then you give an _error_ spec, which you miscall "accuracy", in units of length! Indeed, this project will be much fun! Cheers, Rich
