Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration of this ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

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 ...

Integrated actuator system Ternary all-in-one linear system controls multiple positions, integrating electronics, precision mechanics, feedback, and software. Tritex electric actuators combine ...

Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

This study introduces an innovative approach to enhance the energy efficiency and position control performance of electro-hydraulic systems, employing a comprehensive comparative analysis. It presents ...

Plant engineers at Eskom’s Majuba Power Station in South Africa have been continuously looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability. The six-unit, 4,000-MW, supercritical coal-fired plant ...

NewTek Sensor Solutions’ linear position sensors support the space industry in flight vehicles and ground-based testing ...

The main sources of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in the fields of vehicle, aerospace, and mechanical engineering is the powertrain and they are transmitted to the whole structure through ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...
