This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A linear actuator is a combination of linear guides and power-transmission components contained in an assembly.

Tolomatic’s John Fenske and Mason Cousins weigh in on how the industry is repositioning as electrification, systems ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

Engineers with specialized linear motion requirements may still find themselves designing and building custom actuators. But general automation applications usually work just fine with off-the-shelf ...

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 ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

For applications requiring sub-micrometer precision, PI’s L-220 series linear actuators provide reliable, high-precision motion in a compact design. Engineered for demanding tasks in optics, photonics ...

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 ...

A lot of projects require linear motion, but not all of them require high-accuracy linear slides and expensive ball screws. When just a little shove for a door or the ability to pop something up out ...
