Think of reciprocating motion, and cams — those kings of kinematic linkages — may come to mind. For good reason: Cams have been the traditional gold standard for reciprocating motion since the dawn of ...

The stainless-steel Hygienic Green Drive linear actuator is suitable for food-grade applications as well as clean-room environments. The actuator comes with a 16 or 25-mm-diameter shaft The ...

Linear actuators are essential in modern automation. They enable precise linear motion in applications ranging from robotics to industrial machinery. Choosing the proper actuator can significantly ...

Abstract: This letter introduces a novel linear actuator with a high extension ratio, achieved through a unique planar transforming linkage mechanism (TLM) that serves as an articulated lead screw.

When encountering complex alignment applications, designers of precision motion systems typically have to endure an unsatisfactory compromise between force, dynamics, and accuracy. A new hybrid ...
