So, the Servo will drive the ACME threaded rod, and in turn the nut will move along the shaft. The nut will be tied to the lower mount (1/4" aluminum bar you see opposite where the cylinder mounts) and as the nut moves along so will the bed Dump or lower. I know the speed with the current servo I have in it will be very slow, but if needed I can change out the servo easily in the future. I also am going to be using a Brass round Nut on the ACME rod instead of the standard ACME nut, as that will allow me the wear point instead of the shaft.
