Micro linear actuators bring compact motion control to robotics, medical tools, and precision automation. Learn where they’re used, how to install them, and why engineers rely on these small but ...

If you need to customize a high-volume linear motion system project, have available time and expertise, and can tolerate some risk, you may be able to reduce the cost of having a guided system by ...

With Arduino, you can apply linear actuators in multiple projects, even those that require top precision speed and movement accuracy. You just code Arduino based on the needs of the project, and ...

Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...

Engineering an electric linear actuator (electric cylinder) system in-house is often the most cost and time-efficient route to an automated motion solution. Sometimes you are better off buying. AL ...

If car racing is not your thing and you’d rather build a full-motion flight simulator, here’s one that also uses DIY actuators. Thanks to tips line regular [baldpower] for this one.

This paper discusses the application of displacement controlled linear and rotary drives in future mobile machines with automatic motion control. The presented new circuit solution for pump controlled ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom ...
