Driving a Solid State Relay

Can a SSR be driven in such a way to produce
a variable voltage output using a BS2.

I would like to control a vibrator that's connected
to a rail that parts slide on. I need to be able
to adjust the "Speed" of the vibrator. Is this
possible using the Pulsout or the PWM commands.

Thanks
K-Jay

    Solid state relays are normally full on or off. Furthermore, they are
    usually slow switching and not meant for pulse work.
