Edited by: Leland Teschler New actuators borrow ideas from linear motors to provide controlled displacement on a budget.

The LAS13 series of linear voice-coil actuators offers 6 mm of total stroke and 15.5N peak force in packages measuring only 1.3 in. in diameter and 1.1 to 1.8 in. long. The fully housed LAS13-18-000A ...

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 ...

Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives fitting this description are toothed belts and ball ...

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 ...

Linear actuators and oscillating systems constitute a vibrant area of research that bridges concepts in electromagnetism, mechanics and control engineering.

For specific applications, you might need a variable speed linear actuator. Thus, let us check for what projects you might need to control the actuator speed and how you can do it.

Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration ...

Exlar announces that conforming to both ATEX (Directive 94/9/EC) and CSA regulations for explosion-proof applications, the EXP-24 Positioner can be used to control most of Exlar’s three-phase linear ...

The Tritex II integrated linear actuator family has a new 75 mm frame size. With forces to 1035 lbf continuous and 2075 lbf peak, the AC powered 75 mm linear actuator with its 1.5 kW servo amplifier ...

Described as a low-cost alternative to high-torque linear actuators, the UKE series stepping motors provide almost three times the force, 250N as opposed 88N, in a smaller package. They provide a ...
