Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc, a leading manufacturer of precision linear motion products, offers an entire line of high output can stack linear actuators. The Haydon™ line of high output can ...

Waterbury, CT--Most hollow-shaft stepper motor actuators use a bronze drive nut with a stainless-steel leadscrew. The relative softness of bronze compared to the hardness of stainless steel causes nut ...

Rotary actuators produce oscillating power by rotating an output shaft through a fixed arc. They are compact, simple, and efficient. They produce high instantaneous torque in either direction and ...

In the last 15 years, high-speed piezo electric actuators have become less expensive to manufacture. Consequently, they find themselves as a favorite design choice for a growing number of applications ...

For a PDF verion of this article, click here. Though the understanding of piezoelectrics is more than a century old, there is, of late, a rapidly expanding interest in piezoelectric actuators, because ...

Pneumatic cylinders and actuators are much like their hydraulic and electric counterparts: Their main task is to generate enough force to move a load from one point to another. But how much force is ...

Soft actuation technology underpins high compliance, integration, and multifunctionality in soft robots, and has received growing attention in recent years. Among various soft actuators, twisted ...

Continuing last month’s fundamentals-based theme, I’d like to address the devices that make closed-loop control work. As discussed, control loop algorithms are implemented by software within a BAS ...
