  • 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 Shrink the Size of a Linear Actuator
    Linear actuators come in a wide range of sizes, but over the past several yeas, manufacturers have been emphasizing more and more compact footprints. But no matter how small the actuator, the addition of a motor can make the overall size of the complete system too large for space-constrained
  • 5 Tips for Implementing an Integrated Stepper Linear Actuator System
    solution is also compact in size to allow for smaller equipment footprints. 1. Know the stepper linear actuator types. Figure 1. From left: Standard linear actuator; guided linear actuator; and leadscrew motor. The standard linear actuator (non-captive, internal nut) is configured with the leadscrew
  • Miniature Ball Screws for Life Sciences
    Medical devices require space saving and highly efficient components. Miniature ball screws as small as 3 mm, with 0.5 mm pitch, offer the perfect precision linear drive mechanism for many medical actuators. Custom configurations, often integrating components attached to the ball screw, provide
  • Voice Coils vs. Solenoids: What is the Difference?
    The question of whether to use voice coil actuators or solenoids for small displacement motion control applications comes up often. This article explains the key differences between each product and why you might choose one over the other for your application. A non-commutated DC linear actuator
  • Overview of Different Piezo Motor Design Principles
    Piezoelectric motors are used in many industrial and commercial applications. Various piezoelectric motors are available in the market. All of the piezoelectric motors use the. inverse piezoelectric effect, where microscopically small oscillatory motions are converted into. continuous or stepping
  • The Unsung Contributor to Plant Economic Performance
    Wherever goods and materials are manufactured, processed, or packaged, the process. often depends on fluid automation components. These include fluid control products. such as solenoid pilot valves, angle body piston valves, linear valve position indicators,. redundant control systems, and pressure
  • Transportation Industry In A "Buzz" Over Haptics
    for driver sensory awareness and incorporation into aftermarket add-on safety solutions. Vibrotactile Haptic technologies. There are three principal types of vibration-inducing technologies: 1. Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERC). 2. Piezoelectric Actuators. 3. Linear Resonant Actuator (LRA). ERC's are motors
