The new Allen-Bradley LDAT-SeriesTM Integrated Linear Thruster from Rockwell Automation is the first commercially available moving magnet iron core linear motor actuator with a built-in linear guide ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

Linear actuators are useful things, moving things in straight lines rather than annoying circles like so many motors. [Retsetman] recently built a linear servo actuator of his own design with accurate ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Notes) Improvements in the design of medical equipment for better streamlined functionality and performance is influenced by a number of critical factors. The ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Motion and positioning devices play an integral role in the life-science and medical engineering fields, fulfilling their many different requirements. The spectrum extends from simple low-energy drive ...

How do electric actuators contribute to productivity in today's motion-centric automation environment? John • Exlar: The flexibility provided by electric actuators greatly enhances a design engineer's ...
