Linear actuators are devices that convert any rotary or spinning motion into a linear (straight) motion. In simple words, they help machins move forward and backward. The most basic type of linear ...

Fatronik has launched the most rapid robot in the world at the BIEMH (International Machine-Tool Biennial) in Bilbao. What is involved here is a high-performance handling robot the structure of which ...

A UK firm has developed reference designs for locks and gas valves based on piezoelectric actuators with up to 2mm displacement. Harlow-based Servocell said it is already working with firms on ...

The evolution of science has led to many discoveries, including linear actuators that are heavily used in different industries. A linear actuator is a device that helps to convert electrical energy ...

This article is part of a series of articles based on common questions in robotics. The previous article dealt with the question: What is a robot? Robots are machines designed to perform tasks – ...

Compressive forces (labeled F and F/2) keep the three inner rings in contact with the driveshaft. The ability to produce smooth, precise, and accurate linear motion is key to many manufacturing and ...

Eaton has unveiled two new concentric pneumatic clutch actuators designed for push-type diaphragm spring clutches. The actuators work with a vehicle’s automated manual transmission to determine the ...
