However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple control afforded by an RC servo. The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion.

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 ...

The operation requires a system of actuators to work synchronously to complete two stacking tasks: horizontally driving the bottle boxes into lowering position and vertically raising/lowering the ...

MTS Systems Corp., Sensors Division's Temposonics linear-position sensors are being utilized for precise position measurement for linear actuators to increase output by reducing cycle times and ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...

A new Linear Rail System uses a precision leadscrew assembly to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust linear slide ...

Integrated motor and controller; Standard mounting interface replaces most manual micrometers; Manual control knob: move the actuator at variable speeds; Daisy-chain/control units via a serial port ...

In most cases these are on/off applications where the plunger is moved from one extreme position (when turned on) to another (when turned off). In this paper a scheme is presented to enable ...
