In a stage positioned by a linear motor, the thrust rod is supported at both ends, and the load-carrying forcer is supported by a low-friction slide bearing. On the other hand, linear actuators ...

Modular ironless linear motor stages, such as the mSR100 (the larger actuator), offer various base sizes, travel lengths, and motor sizes to accommodate large applications.

This video shows the operation of the PiezoMike Linear Actuators with PIShift Piezomotor. The linear screw-type actuator with PIShift piezo inertia drive is provided for high-resolution and stable ...

Back in the day, engineers didn’t have many options for moving an object from one point to another in a straight line. These ...

A linear actuator creates motion in a straight line, as opposed to an electric motor that moves in circular fashion. In this article, we’ll look at the different types of linear actuators available on ...

The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

The unit replaces four different components—a motor, couple, lead screw and nut. Shaft to lead screw couplers are not needed, saving time, money and labor during assembly into the final application, ...

In line with Moravec's paradox, dexterous manipulation capabilities of a human are still extremely challenging to achieve with technical means, e.g. a robotic arm. One major reason is the discrepancy ...
