Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...

The Easy-Dc linear actuator controller supplies continuous motor current up to 20 A with an operating voltage range of 7 to 42Vdc (5.5 to 50Vdc extended range). The unit operates at –40 to 125°C, and ...

Plant engineers at Eskom’s Majuba Power Station in South Africa have been continuously looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability. The six-unit, 4,000-MW, supercritical coal-fired plant ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions prides itself on its ability to customize linear motion systems for just about any application. Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...

Though the initial price point for electromechanical actuators tends to be higher than hydraulic cylinders, their popularity is growing due to energy efficiency, increased uptimes, simplified ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

Advances in the control of vibrations in membrane structures have become pivotal in numerous engineering applications, particularly in aerospace, telecommunications and flexible robotics. Membrane ...
