A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...
Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...
Available in travel lengths of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mm, the DL Series linear actuators are housed in a rigid enclosed aluminum box that integrates the linear bearing and drive mechanism. The linear ...
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] demonstrates ...
A programmable linear actuator combines mechanical drive, guidance, and control in a single component. The programmable motorized SplineRail linear actuator uses a size-17 single- or double-stack ...
This paper will discuss a variety of rotary position feedback sensors including digital, contacting analog, and non-contacting analog, and may act as a high- level guide to selecting the right sensor ...
