The new 5-in.-frame GSX Series actuator now comes with a highly efficient segmented motor-design stator called T-Lam. This design features high force in a small package as well as long life. The ...

Auburn, MA -- piezo motor specialist PI introduces the new M-272 linear actuator for automation applications based on a maintenance-free PILine® ultrasonic ceramic motor. PILine® piezo ceramic ...

AUBURN, Mass., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For tasks requiring sub-micrometer precision — such as alignment, adjustment, or fine positioning — PI's M-235, L-220, and M-230 series linear ...

When it comes to the “build versus buy” question, “buy” almost always wins. The amount of time you have to put into building something is rarely justified, especially with a world of options available ...

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 ...

Traditional lead-screw and belt-drive positioners have relatively large moving parts, making fine repetitive motion difficult. They also suffer from high wear and tear due to friction, making them ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a normal stress electromagnetic linear actuator for fast tool servos during nonrotationally symmetric diamond turning. By using the permanent magnet as the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) linear actuator and its application driving the joints of an anthropomorphic robotic hand. Its main feature is that it is a flexible SMA ...
