An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

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 ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in mind ...

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 ...

Compared to the vast majority of systems that require motion control, medical devices typically tend to be smaller and lighter, simply because they are often portable/mobile systems that are ...
