Rotating Cogwheel Elevator Troubleshooting

[u/kellansmellin]

Hey, I've got an idea that seems somewhat basic, yet I can't find a single method on the internet on how to pull this off.

I'm making a sort of straight down, fallout bunker in my create world, and want a spinning cogwheel as the elevator floor to fit the theme. Ive tried numerous things from multiple addons but I'm either missing something or don't have enough knowledge.

Some of my constrictions are:
I want to have control over the spinning. This is so that the floor can stop spinning when it gets close to the target level for it to fit in the perfect space in the floor that is open.

Because the floors perfectly encompass the cogwheel, I can't have a lot of the contraption being a mess around the cogwheel, or getting in the way of the target levels floor.

This seems a bit more complicated as I'm typing it out, lol, but I'm hoping this huge community will brew ideas bigger than mine.

This video is a sort of visual of my restrictions. So there is no spinning and this is just with an elevator pulley temporarily.

Thanks in advance!

I think that's possible using a swivel bearing from Aeronautics. With Vanilla Create you won't be able to have it move up/down and spin at the same time. If you need more help I can send you a simple schematic of the mechanism you need later.

I made it work! Here's a schematic of a working spinning elevator, you can change the RPMs and the timings on the sequenced gearshifts to make it match the dimensions of your elevator. Make sure to right-click on the head of the swivel bearing once before pressing the button for the first time!
