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 ...

Abstract: Hybrid linear actuators (HLAs) are versatile devices capable of high ratio extensions. Although HLAs have been utilized in some industries, civilian applications are still limited. In this ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the trajectory tracking problem of a micro linear piezoelectric actuator (LPA) based on a Variable Forgetting Factor Iterative Learning Control (FFILC). Compared to ...
