A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Tolomatic’s John Fenske and Mason Cousins weigh in on how the industry is repositioning as electrification, systems ...

Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...

Available in travel lengths of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mm, the DL Series linear actuators are housed in a rigid enclosed aluminum box that integrates the linear bearing and drive mechanism. The linear ...

Most electromagnetic actuators are rotating motors, or some variation on the theme, like servos. However, it’s possible to do linear actuation with electomagnetics, too. [Adrian Perez] demonstrates ...

Designed for precise positioning and rapid motion, this Size 14 hybrid external linear actuator incorporates a rotating acme stainless steel lead screw into the motor's rotor. Shaft-to-lead screw ...

When it comes to the “build versus buy” question, “buy” almost always wins. The amount of time you have to put into building something is rarely justified, especially with a world of options available ...

This paper will discuss a variety of rotary position feedback sensors including digital, contacting analog, and non-contacting analog, and may act as a high- level guide to selecting the right sensor ...
