For specific applications, you might need a variable speed linear actuator. Thus, let us check for what projects you might need to control the actuator speed and how you can do it.

Edited by: Leland Teschler New actuators borrow ideas from linear motors to provide controlled displacement on a budget.

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 ...

Integrated actuator system Ternary all-in-one linear system controls multiple positions, integrating electronics, precision mechanics, feedback, and software.

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level ...

In most cases these are on/off applications where the plunger is moved from one extreme position (when turned on) to another (when turned off). In this paper a scheme is presented to enable ...

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 ...

The Tritex II integrated linear actuator family has a new 75 mm frame size. With forces to 1035 lbf continuous and 2075 lbf peak, the AC powered 75 mm linear actuator with its 1.5 kW servo amplifier ...

The LAS13 series of linear voice-coil actuators offers 6 mm of total stroke and 15.5N peak force in packages measuring only 1.3 in. in diameter and 1.1 to 1.8 in. long. The fully housed LAS13-18-000A ...

GEMÜ’s 1205 electrical position indicator is suitable for demanding applications in category 2, zone 1, and/or zone 21 ATEX areas, as well as for robust use at low temperatures down to -20 °C.

Exlar announces that conforming to both ATEX (Directive 94/9/EC) and CSA regulations for explosion-proof applications, the EXP-24 Positioner can be used to control most of Exlar’s three-phase linear ...

[Harrison Low] published some 3D-printed linear actuators, which generated a lot of interest. He got a lot of advice from people on the Internet, and he took it to heart. The result: an improved ve… ...
