You could try thinking of using a servo unit which will give you the nice slow movement you want, remove the feedback sensor on the top so that it will continually rotate as long as your signal is on it, then connect the servo arm to a con rod that operates a piston in a guide.

Basically the servo arm is then the crank so this would give you a nice slow reciprocating motion that you could then connect to your head.

Hi MIb, for motors have a look on our web site (Stourbridge Model Boat Club) 'useful contacts page' for Motors Direct, this guy Knows his stuff, you can ring him at any reasonable time and may have a motor to suit, regards small motion sensors try RS Components web site regards, Vic.
