The LAS13 series of linear voice-coil actuators offers 6 mm of total stroke and 15.5N peak force in packages measuring only 1.3 in. in diameter and 1.1 to 1.8 in. long. The fully housed LAS13-18-000A ...

This video offers a glimpse into the features of PiezoMike series of linear actuators by Physik Instrumente (PI). Based on low-cost inertia principle, the PiezoMike linear actuators are distinguished ...

Linear actuators are presented now in the highest variety. There is no doubt that whatever project you are planning, you will find the needed actuators for it. To choose the right option, you need to ...

This paper will discuss a variety of rotary position feedback sensors including digital, contacting analog, and non-contacting analog, and may act as a high- level guide to selecting the right sensor ...

Exlar announces that conforming to both ATEX (Directive 94/9/EC) and CSA regulations for explosion-proof applications, the EXP-24 Positioner can be used to control most of Exlar’s three-phase linear ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Described as a low-cost alternative to high-torque linear actuators, the UKE series stepping motors provide almost three times the force, 250N as opposed 88N, in a smaller package. They provide a ...
