Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new linear actuator and electromagnetic locks driver created by serial Kickstarter entrepreneur and electronics designer Patrick ...

The LAS13 series of linear voice-coil actuators offers 6 mm of total stroke and 15.5N peak force in packages measuring only 1.3 in. in diameter and 1.1 to 1.8 in. long. The fully housed LAS13-18-000A ...

The STA11 direct-drive linear actuator allows the mounting of multiple units on 28-mm centers, permitting a 10-actuator assembly less than 12 in. wide. This addition to Copley Controls' ServoTube line ...

Linear actuators are useful things, moving things in straight lines rather than annoying circles like so many motors. [Retsetman] recently built a linear servo actuator of his own design with accurate ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

SMAC’s new LPL80 line of electric linear moving coil actuators were designed for filling machines and come in the standard 80mm size. The actuators use a dc linear servo motor, replace air cylinders ...

Linear actuators are presented now in the highest variety. There is no doubt that whatever project you are planning, you will find the needed actuators for it. To choose the right option, you need to ...

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 ...

How linear, rotary, reciprocating and oscillating motion are evolving as customization grows and new capabilities emerge.

The Festo DFPI linear pneumatic actuator with integrated displacement encoder controls flaps, guide plates, and louver dampers in flow-rate applications. Applicable to variable fill-level systems, the ...
