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 ...

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 ...

Rockwell Automation (Anorad brand) has introduced a new series of miniature motors to its portfolio of high-performance brushless linear servo motor products. The LEU Series is an ironless core, ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. This model is ...

Moticont's brushless miniature DC linear voice coil motor is built with haptic feedback efficiency for medical/surgical instruments, vibration damping, laser machining, packaging, wafer handling, and ...

Modular devices offer better planarity, force rating, and direct linear motion over comparable parts The DM01 miniature shape memory alloy linear actuators offer a 0.5-in. stroke in a package ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Size plays a key role in miniaturization and automation, where smaller is usually better. Conventional electromagnetic motors have certain restrictions when it comes to reducing dimensions while ...

Compact linear translation stage family combines speed, precision, versatility, new from PI. With a footprint of just 80x80mm for the 40mm version, the V-141 is ideal for compact integration in OEM ...

What sets NeoSander apart is its patented reciprocating linear motor, a first-ever innovation in sanding tools. While most ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Anyone who uses engineered products is probably aware of “specmanship.” Simply put, specmanship is the art of manipulating theoretical and experimental data to cast a product in a better light. It ...
