what do you mean by rock an arm?

swing back and forth?

As for timers , get a 555 timer ( search google) and adjust it for the timing you need

We need more details, like what is your application, your budget, experience, etc.

yes i mean swing back and forth

in this case the 555 timer is not what i need because i don't want to built an
electronic circuit
i want the mose simple solution

That is extremely simple to do

search online for kits or just buy a digital timer
