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 ...

Linear actuators provide thrust force and displacement for many applications, ranging from artificial heart to automotive and aerospace actuation [1].

This paper focuses on controlling the dynamics of a mass-damper-spring model via a servo-controlled linear actuator (SCLA). The displacements of the mass are sensed and measured by a linear variable ...
