Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

[Harrison Low] published some 3D-printed linear actuators, which generated a lot of interest. He got a lot of advice from people on the Internet, and he took it to heart. The result: an improved ...

For many years now a source for some of the smallest and cheapest home made CNC mechanisms has been the seemingly never-ending supply of surplus CD and DVD-ROM drives. The linear actuator that moves ...

Precision, scalability and speed are key factors in medical and lab automation that are pushing actuator design forward and ...

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...

For applications requiring sub-micrometer precision, PI’s L-220 series linear actuators provide reliable, high-precision ...
