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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

“Based on a proprietary and unique technology developed over the last 5 years, the NanoPWMTM performance is superior to linear servo drives, guaranteed,” said Ze’ev Kirshenboim at ACS Motion Control. ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
