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 ...

MD&M West unites five powerful industry sectors—MedTech, Automation, Design & Manufacturing, Plastics, and Packaging—creating the West Coast's most comprehensive manufacturing event.

Our open source community invites anyone with an idea to build upon the works of those who came before. Many of us have encountered a need to control linear motion and adapted an inexpensive hobby ...

Designers getting ready to choose a linear actuator for a specific device or machine should have a list of questions ready to ask suppliers and manufacturers of those devices. These lists usually ...

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 ...

A new bidirectional digital linear actuator (DLA) achieves linear resolution as fine as 0.005 in./pulse. The Series 26DBM DLA targets applications that require precise, measured control of fluids and ...

This video offers a glimpse into the features of PiezoMike series of linear actuators by Physik Instrumente (PI). Based on low-cost inertia principle, the PiezoMike linear actuators are distinguished ...

The MLA (motorized linear actuator) and MEA (motorized electric actuator) series represent a new generation of compact linear motion solutions. Each actuator combines a high-performance stepper or ...

[Harrison Low] published some 3D-printed linear actuators, which generated a lot of interest. He got a lot of advice from people on the Internet, and he took it to heart. The result: an improved ...

Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control system designed specifically for harsh environments. This particular linear actuator is used to control the power to a cement ...
