RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

[AntonB] has modified a servo into a powerful linear actuator (think: changing rotational motion into linear motion). The process is simple enough, modify a servo for continuous rotation and then add ...

Tolomatic has been building its portfolio of motion control solutions since 1954. The range includes electric linear actuators, pneumatic actuators and power transmission products for factory ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

UAVOS is excited to introduce the newest addition to its servos line – the SDLM-04B Linear Servo Actuator. The SDLM-04B is engineered for applications that demand high forces and long-term reliability ...

Figure 2: By using smaller servo drives, robots have less dead weight to deal with, reducing their wear-and-tear. The ongoing trend of micro-sized servo drive technology is driven by Moore’s Law and ...

Van Nuys, CA. The new SDLM-019-070-01-01 direct-drive linear motor is the latest addition to the series of zero backlash, zero cogging, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, long-life linear ...

From ‘zipper crush’ to the actuation of a tear-notch-cutting assembly, these linear servo motors are just the ticket. They also minimize up-front cost as well as ongoing energy consumption. This ...

“B&R provided controls for a 65 meter long machine built by Brueckner in Germany that utilized a linear motor with track sections involving 728 sets of motor windings and over 700 linear motor movers.
