The modular linear actuator design makes it possible to grip objects and perform open-and-close operations with a single motor by using a right/left screw simultaneously capable of both right and left ...

The screw’s lead also affects the linear actuators thrust capacity. To calculate linear thrust of a screw assembly, use the following equation: Torque = Thrust required × Screw lead/ (2 × ...

Thomson has extended its range of ball screw linear actuators with the T60 Precision Linear Actuator (PLA). The key feature of the new T60 is its compact dimensions, which enable installation even ...

The new design features a robust, enclosed design with a high capacity rail bearing system delivering exceptional moment and load capability. Available in three sizes, with travels lengths up to 1,000 ...

Instead, choose a recirculating ball-screw actuator. These devices have rolling friction, not sliding friction, so they last longer and the life is more predictable (Fig. 1).

Integrating a size 11 hybrid double stack stepper motor, the SRA04 motorized ScrewRail linear actuator from Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions eliminates the need for external rail-to-screw alignment.

Linear drive systems have been used for thousands of years, as far back as the ancient Egyptians who used tree trunks to move heavy blocks of stones, providing the precursor to linear motion solutions ...

Linear motors, because of their simple two-part design and the inherently non-contacting nature of their operation, are beginning to replace traditional ball screws and belt drive applications. A ...

Earthquake shaking table is one of the tools used to simulate earthquake behavior and its effect for the structures. This research describes a process of designing a dual-axis shaking table using ball ...
