Designing an Actuation System for Continuous Oscillation of a 70kg Suspended Mass

The task requires developing an actuation system to continuously oscillate a 70kg suspended mass by 150mm in a lateral displacement within 0.5 seconds, for at least 30 minutes, with variable speed control. The system must account for the suspended load and pendulum-like motion. The goal is to identify the most suitable actuation method and estimate the required force, torque, and power.
