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 ...

Most experiments in flexible robot actuators are based around pneumatics, but [Ayato Kanada] and [Tomoaki Mashimo] has been working on using a coiled spring as the moving component of a linear ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

Tolomatic has been building its portfolio of motion control solutions since 1954. The range includes electric linear actuators, pneumatic actuators and power transmission products for factory ...

By weaving magnet-responsive fibers into fabric, scientists have created textiles that move, flex, and feel, bringing ...

One of the marquee features of the original Apple Watch was the advent of what Jony Ive called a “linear actuator”—in layman’s terms, the mechanism that makes your wrist literally buzz when getting a ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...
