[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

PI, a global leader in nanopositioning, precision motion control systems, and air bearing technology, introduces the ...

XY stage combination of two low-profile V-508 linear motor stages run by an ACS motion controller with internal fast alignment algorithms. Video Credit: PI (Physik Instrumente) LP ...

The result is a gearless (and very quiet) linear actuator that controls like a stepper motor. While a tubular linear motor is at its heart a pretty straightforward concept, [Jeremy] found very ...

Make: Linear Model code: AM3Plus Max No. of Doors per Controller: 4 Communication Type: RS232 Universal / Wiegand Reader Interface: Yes The AM3Plus multi-portal access controller has four built-in ...

When selecting a linear actuator, it is advisable to adopt a systematic approach and to precisely determine which model can deliver the required power and also reliably withstand power peaks.

Novel bi-phase piezo motor enables accurate linear motion in an extremely compact package ... During the slow expansion phase, the actuator gradually moves a runner forward. When the actuator ...
