  • What is the Difference between a Rotary and a Linear Actuator?
    Actuators can be classified into two types based on their motion. Two primary actuator types are rotary and linear. Rotary actuators will turn something a number of degrees in a circle â€" it might be a limited number or an infinite number. Linear actuators, in essence, move something along
  • Stepper Linear Actuators Simplified
    What is a "linear actuator"? It is actually a simple stepper motor with a built-in leadscrew to directly convert rotary motion in form of discrete steps, into linear motion. Achieving linear motion internal to the motor eliminates the cost of designing a separate transmission mechanism
  • DC Linear Actuators vs DC Linear Motors
    Factory automation and robotic application engineers are often faced with the challenge of requiring fast, accurate and powerful linear actuation within a small allocated volume. The two most commonly available technologies are rotary DC motor driven actuators and linear DC motor actuators
  • How to Select a Stepper Linear Actuator
    Stepper linear actuators, or digital linear actuators, are devices that directly convert rotary motion into linear motion by using nut and leadscrew mechanisms. Unlike typical miniature motor technologies, linear motion is achieved in the motor itself, which eliminates designing separate
  • The 5 Best Industry Applications For Linear And Rotary Solenoids
    , which is then translated into linear or rotary motion. When the ferromagnetic actuator, or "plunger," slides "IN" and "OUT," this robotic motion is harnessed to either continuously hold a position or to operate as an ON-OFF pulse (latching). Through Johnson Electric's innovative engineering and design
  • Selecting the Proper Stepper Motor or Linear Actuator
    In order to select the proper motor several factors must be considered. Is linear or rotary motion required? Following is a list of some of the basic requirements to consider when choosing a motor. This will help determine if a linear actuator or rotary motor should be used.
  • Actuator Tips
    Stepper motors are commonly used to translate motion from rotary to linear. Selecting the right combination of electrical and mechanical components is complicated by the various options for precision positioning systems. This brief will review key criteria for successful stepper linear actuator
  • The History of the Rotary Solenoid
    Rotary solenoids are electromechanical devices used for a variety of applications. They have a strong connection to Dayton and are vital for long life operation in challenging environments. What, Exactly, is a Rotary Solenoid?. A rotary solenoid uses three ball bearings to convert linear motion
