Most electromagnetic actuators are rotating motors, or some variation on the theme, like servos. However, it’s possible to do linear actuation with electomagnetics, too. [Adrian Perez] demons… ...

Valve actuators powered by an electric motor can withstand the demands of continuous movement. In addition, they work effectively in harsh environments, and provide superior performance in a wide ...

The PFL35T Linearstep Series tin-can-type linear actuator offers direct linear motion without the need of mechanical transformers.

In rodless actuators, the load rests on a carriage that must connect to the screw, which can expose the actuator to contamination (Fig. 2).

If an electrical voltage is applied to the electrodes, the actuator contracts like a muscle. When the voltage is switched off, it relaxes to its original position. 3D printing such a structure is ...

The actuator allows for building tiny robots with shape-shifting abilities when sensors, motors, and Lego-like blocks are added. The result is a robot just nine centimeters long and weighing 25 grams.

Electric actuators take their orders from microprocessors that manage the various electronic systems in vehicles. While sometimes you can tell actuators what you want them to do and when ...
