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 ...

Micro servomotors are a hacker staple. You’ll find maybe four or five in an RC plane, while a hexbot build could soak up a dozen or more of the cheap and readily available devices. Unfortunately, long ...

Why factoring mechanical and thermal boundaries into your actuator specification can make or break system performance. Boost your understanding of integrated actuators and online software for sizing ...

An H-bridge servo drive module for National Instruments' CompactRIO embedded control and acquisition system offers direct connectivity to actuators, such as fractional-horsepower brushed DC servo ...

UAVOS has debuted its Xservo-Series Hollow Shaft Servo Actuators, which feature embedded CANopen/EtherCAT servo drive. The actuators include a built-in motion controller, which allows users to skip ...

Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...

Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...

SKF CASM Series servo actuators introduce ideal electromechanical solutions for applications historically performed by conventional pneumatic cylinders. Their technology in comparison inherently ...

UAVOS has successfully completed the installation and site acceptance testing of their servo drives for Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) aircraft flight control. As part of heavy – lift unmanned ...
