Unlike typical X-Y stages layered with one-shaft actuators that make access from the outside difficult due to cables and moving motors close to the stage, the PD…S is designed with a mechanism that ...

High-quality linear actuators are tiny powerhouses: Despite their compact size, they support high input speeds and, at the same time, deliver high output forces. When selecting a linear actuator ...

Fresh Heavy Duty Truck Safety Tech Emerges at CES 2025 Magnetic steering feedback “brake,” planetary ball-ramp rear steering, electric recirculating-ball front steering, and 5 million electric ...

This letter introduces a novel linear actuator with a high extension ratio, achieved through a unique planar transforming linkage mechanism (TLM) that serves as an articulated lead screw. This ...

When machine designers need to translate motor torque into linear thrust, they often specify a stepper motor with an integrated lead screw and nut. Known as a stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA ...

Thomson SMLAs use a stepper motor and lead screw shaft to translate rotary motion to linear motion for all three configurations: linear actuator, rotating screw and rotating nut. Previously, designers ...

Model EC Elecylinder Slider linear actuators are designed for long-stroke, high-load applications. Widths range from 35 to 73 millimeters. Maximum stroke length is 1,500 millimeters. These compact ...

Researchers have innovated the 'Fusion Hybrid Linear Actuator' (FHLA), a unique design concept that overcomes complexities in implementing hybrid actuation in robotics. This pioneering concept ...

The Small Modules Screw Driven (SMS) line of linear axes from Bosch Rexroth range features more compact sizing and ball screw assembly. They are designed for simple positioning and feeding tasks and ...

Built mainly from carbon fiber tubing and 3D-printed parts, the actuators have about 30 centimeters of throw, and thanks to their cable-drive design, they’re pretty fast — much faster than his ...
