RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator … ...

The linear actuator that moves the laser may not be the longest or the strongest, but it’s free, and we’ve seen plenty of little X-Y tables using CD drives.

The Compact SDLM-051-070-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Actuator with integrated position and temperature sensors is the latest addition to the patented series of zero backlash, zero cogging, high ...

The unit is installed horizontally, minimizing space. The actuator operates on 90-psi air pressure and features mechanical linkages to translate horizontal cylinder force into vertical stroke ...

The Size 14 actuator simplifies bulky and complex mechanisms. The new design has a compact package length, maximizing the linear stroke to unit length ratio.

Linear vs. Rotary A linear actuator extends or retracts along a set line and distance, providing a controlled back-and-forth motion such as lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling or positioning objects.

In addition, the tool serves as a reference table to compare other key actuator parameters such as peak force, continuous force, and stroke. BEI KIMCO MAGNETICS, Vista, CA. (800) 572-7560.

The unit replaces four different components—a motor, couple, lead screw and nut. Shaft to lead screw couplers are not needed, saving time, money and labor during assembly into the final application, ...
