Linear actuators convert the rotary motion of motors into linear motion output, possessing good support and load-bearing capabilities, mainly used in high-load scenarios with small motion rotation ...

Lead screws are commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and often provide actuation to a set of linear bearings. Download this Tech Talk for insight into different lead screw ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

As robotics technology continues to evolve, the application scenarios for linear actuators are becoming increasingly diverse. In addition to the aforementioned fingers, wrists, elbows, and knees, ...

The two degrees of freedom in movement can be actuated independently or concurrently. The actuators can be run using a two-axis stepper-motor driver and chopper and/or microstepping drives. The Size ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have announced an interesting invention: the “smallest on-chip motor in history.” Surprisingly, this tiny motor is so small that it can fit “inside a strand ...

Unterpremstaetten, Austria — The AS5305 magnetic linear motion encoder IC from austriamicrosystems targets linear motion and off-axis rotational measurements in applications such as industrial drives, ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have made light-powered gears on a micrometer scale. This paves the way for the smallest on-chip motors in history, which can fit inside a strand of hair.

Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...
