Perhaps one of the most interesting YouTube channels to follow right now is [James Bruton’s] channel for XRobots.co.uk — he’s a prop maker, a toy maker — and as his site implies, a robotics guru. Put ...

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 ...

[Harrison Low] published some 3D-printed linear actuators, which generated a lot of interest. He got a lot of advice from people on the Internet, and he took it to heart. The result: an improved ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

From silent fiber muscles to integrated linear drives, actuator technology is advancing to deliver unprecedented precision, efficiency, and design simplicity. Engineers are combining mechanical ...

Addressing a fundamental challenge in robotics, Associate Professor Yoshihiro Nakata of The University of Electro-Communications, Japan, and Senior Researcher Tomoyuki Noda from the Brain Information ...

Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control system designed specifically for harsh environments. This particular linear actuator is used to control the power to a cement ...

These are the applications where getting the actuator specification wrong has consequences beyond inconvenience. Heavy duty actuators exist for exactly this reason. Understanding what separates them ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...
