The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries Electric linear actuators are increasingly preferred over hydraulic and ...

SMAC’s new LPL80 line of electric linear moving coil actuators were designed for filling machines and come in the standard 80mm size. The actuators use a dc linear servo motor, replace air cylinders ...

Linear actuators are useful things, moving things in straight lines rather than annoying circles like so many motors. [Retsetman] recently built a linear servo actuator of his own design with accurate ...

UAVOS is excited to introduce the newest addition to its servos line – the SDLM-04B Linear Servo Actuator. The SDLM-04B is engineered for applications that demand high forces and long-term reliability ...

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators has introduced its new LPL Series 125 low-profile electric linear actuator designed specifically for use on robot end effectors. These actuators with low centers of gravity ...

How do electric actuators contribute to productivity in today's motion-centric automation environment? John • Exlar: The flexibility provided by electric actuators greatly enhances a design engineer's ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...

Festo has introduced its newest generation of Cartesian-handling-system mechanical axes. The ELGD-TB, tooth belt actuators, and ELGD-BS, ball screw actuators, are based on a new Festo design. Festo ...

Moving a load in a straight line can be done using a variety of linear actuator devices employing both rod and rodless technologies. For rod-style actuation requiring lower amounts of force ...

SKF CASM Series servo actuators introduce ideal electromechanical solutions for applications historically performed by conventional pneumatic cylinders. Their technology in comparison inherently ...
