Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control system designed specifically for harsh environments. This particular linear actuator is used to control the power to a cement ...

Linear actuators are presented now in the highest variety. There is no doubt that whatever project you are planning, you will find the needed actuators for it. To choose the right option, you need to ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Designers of motion systems that handle low to moderate loads often consider only a couple drive alternatives: economical pneumatics ...

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 ...

At 21 mm square (0.8-inch), the Size 8 hybrid external linear actuator is billed by the vendor as the world’s smallest linear actuator. The unit replaces four different components—a motor, couple, ...

We present a suite of algorithms and tools for model-predictive control of sensor/actuator systems with embedded microcontroller units (MCU). These MCUs can be colocated with sensors and actuators, ...

The need to create more viable soft sensors is increasing in tandem with the growing interest in soft robots. Several sensing methods, like capacitive stretch sensing and intrinsic capacitive ...
