However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple control afforded by an RC servo. The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion.

Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration ...

The operation requires a system of actuators to work synchronously to complete two stacking tasks: horizontally driving the bottle boxes into lowering position and vertically raising/lowering the ...

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 ...

Encoder feedback is now available on the vendor’s size 8 hybrid linear actuators. The encoder module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal-shaping ...

In most cases these are on/off applications where the plunger is moved from one extreme position (when turned on) to another (when turned off). In this paper a scheme is presented to enable ...

A new Linear Rail System uses a precision leadscrew assembly to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust linear slide ...
