Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

Within the air brake systems of trucks and trailers, actuators play a vital, but largely unsung, role. Brake actuators are the devices that convert the compressed air force within a truck or trailer's ...

Adaptive soft matter, such as responsive gels, elastomers, shape memory and electro-active polymers, is attracting burgeoning interest in material science ...

In this chapter, I will present a few useful “cookbook” applications for real-time control circuits designed to perform some specific low-level task and interface with a master controller for ...

An actuator has been developed and qualified with all loop-closure and redundancy management functions covered by an electronic package physically located on the actuator manifold assembly. The ...

Porsche Design releases its new Monobloc Actuator collection at Baselworld 2017, the largest watch and jewelry fair in the world, which opens its doors to the public on March 23 in Switzerland. This ...

A New York-based company has unveiled a robotic hand that can rotate a nut on a bolt at super high speed. This is possible ...
