How do actuators work? Linear actuators, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, and vacuum actuators. Actuators are used ...

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 ...

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 ...

Designed to save users time in determining the most suitable linear actuator, the company’s online VCA Calculation Tool calculates the optimum linear voice coil actuator size for a given application.

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
