I really like your design, thus far.
How are you going to control it? If you place a strong permanent on one end, and wrap coils around the outside, you can incrementally step in both the hosizontal and the roatary. You will find that there is an ideal stepping alogarythm. The golden count is 12 phase. with this you can control the rod in any direction.

Enjoy
