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 ...

The Festo CMSX delivers proportional closed loop control, energy savings, safety, and more at a price nearly half that of typical closed-loop position solutions in the process industries. Festo ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

A fully integrated linear actuator sensor eliminates the need for homing routines. Available for use with the company's BC3 pneumatic and B3S electric Series actuators, Absolute Position Feedback (APF ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...

The CAN bus standard moves the discussion from how the communications will be managed to what exactly the user wants to accomplish. Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more ...

Linear, variable, differential transformer (LVDT) sensors for position feedback in downhole environments are reported to ...
