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 ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

Breaking with traditional linear actuator principles - advantages for nanopositioning in optics, astronomy, aerospace, ...

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 ...

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 ...
