When it comes to linear motion, engineers often come down to two choices: voice-coil actuators (VCAs) or solenoids. Both are simple electromechanical devices that can accomplish the task.

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 ...

The price of necessary components can be from three to 10 times more than those for a pneumatic axis of motion (cylinder, solenoid/valve, and air lines), and at least two times more than an ...

A linear actuator, of course! Although this could be done with other household implements, the form factor of this glue stick seems perfectly suited to sit on top of a servo horn.

In some embodiments, the linear actuators can be solenoids, which are further equipped with a spring to extend or retract a massage member. A controller is provided to control the actuation of the ...
