Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...

Micro servomotors are a hacker staple. You’ll find maybe four or five in an RC plane, while a hexbot build could soak up a dozen or more of the cheap and readily available devices. Unfortunately, long ...

Pneumatic and hydraulic linear actuators operate on pressure differentials; electromechanical actuators are either linear motors or rotary types. Other differences abound. Mark Lemire, Product manager ...

Linear actuators are useful things, moving things in straight lines rather than annoying circles like so many motors. [Retsetman] recently built a linear servo actuator of his own design with accurate ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

SMAC’s new LPL80 line of electric linear moving coil actuators were designed for filling machines and come in the standard 80mm size. The actuators use a dc linear servo motor, replace air cylinders ...

UAVOS is excited to introduce the newest addition to its servos line – the SDLM-04B Linear Servo Actuator. The SDLM-04B is engineered for applications that demand high forces and long-term reliability ...
