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 ...

The IMA integrated linear servo actuator is available with additional ball screw offerings that reportedly increase the speed range from 24 inches per second (610 mm/sec) to 58 inches per second ...

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 ...

Our open source community invites anyone with an idea to build upon the works of those who came before. Many of us have encountered a need to control linear motion and adapted an inexpensive hobby ...

Direct-drive linear tubular motors from California Linear Devices provide a peak force of 750 lbs with 30A excitation current over strokes ranging from 2 to 12 in. in 2-in. increments. The 5024-4 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

Sub-micron to sub-nanometer precise compact actuators: novel ceramic motors to classical motors. Systems range from pen-tip-sized ceramic actuators for high-volume optics & medical applications, to ...
