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 ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
