Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

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 ...

It seems almost all industries use linear actuators in some way—perhaps to move inventory, products, or components, or to carry out manufacturing and assembly processes. They convert energy into a ...

Dunkermotor, now part of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has released its first ServoTube linear motors and actuators catalog with technical specifications and drawings that cover 1,346 standard ...

Addressing the key questions about the role of actuators in medical testing environments explains why actuator designs are changing to handle mass processing and eliminate ...

An integrated mechanical brake, for which Schaeffler has filed a patent, forms a central part of the actuator’s safety concept. When the motor is de-energized, the brake securely holds the actuator – ...

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 ...
