The L2018 mini linear actuator is available with linear slide and features an extremely compact size, fast regulation times, and high thrust. The unit is based on a high-torque stepper motor and has a ...

AutomationDirect has added second generation (Gen 2) linear motion slide actuators to its SureMotion line of motion control products. The SureMotion lineup includes both motor-ready actuator ...

AutomationDirect has added linear slide actuators from igus. These lead screw-driven and belt-driven linear slide actuators can be used as single-axis slides or can provide an economical means of ...

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 tradeoffs of ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. This model is ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

It seems almost all industries use linear actuators in some way—perhaps to move inventory, products, or components, or to carry out manufacturing and assembly processes. They convert energy into a ...

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 ...
