This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A linear actuator is a combination of linear guides and power-transmission components contained in an assembly.

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

Latest Festo ELGD models increase load capacity, stiffness, and configuration options for OEM linear motion systems.

The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

CAD download availability includes both motorized and non-motorized SplineRails and offers the flexibility to modify such features such as linear actuator length, screw resolution, motor step angle, ...

A lot of projects require linear motion, but not all of them require high-accuracy linear slides and expensive ball screws. When just a little shove for a door or the ability to pop something up out ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

From silent fiber muscles to integrated linear drives, actuator technology is advancing to deliver unprecedented precision, efficiency, and design simplicity. Engineers are combining mechanical ...
