motor/guided motion advice

[Geppetto82]

Hello, everyone.
I ask for advice:
I am handling a motor inserted in a guide for an automatic gate.
for the moment I moved the gate in opening and closing and here almost everything well.
to facilitate my work I left the static engine since I just started using animations; practically you see the gate opening and closing but the wheels of the engine are firm. It's not realistic.
the next step is to be able to turn the wheels and then make it look more real.
I looked at several tutorials but all show a cyclic movement, repetitive; My difficulty lies in turning the wheels first in a way for a certain period of time (1 minute approximately) for opening and in the contrary way for closing (1 minute approximately).
my question is I have to insert as many key points as the wheels are in a single phase or does a command that automatically calculates this time alone?
another question: how do I connect the wheel movement with the guide? Do I have to treat 2 things separately?
I thought I was doing this, but it seems a little mechanical:
1)We want the speed of the gate to 8mt/min
2)wheel makes 43giri/min
3)I place the timeline at 2 minutes (1 for opening, 1 for closing)
4)I insert 43 key points (43giri/min of wheel) for opening and 43 other for closing? ?
5)I insert 2 key points for the gate (1 to 1 minute for opening and the other to 2 minute for closing).
Does anyone want to flip the brain with me?

but do you have to do a simulation or an animation? put the keypoints to rotate a wheel doesn't make much sense. Did you try to put him a movie engine? I'm sorry but I don't understand you can post any static image of what you want to get?

Hello poly,
I'd like to make an animation. I tried to insert 2 movie engines: one for opening and the other for closing, but I couldn't turn off the first and activate the second, I worked the first uninterruptedly. then I left this road and tried with the keys.
cmq now place some pictures, I hope they are clear.

assigns a couple cream cheese (Eye to any others you have already put that they do not overdo everything) between wheel and guide, establish in the options the correct relationship and at least this part you should solve it.
