Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration ...

Festo introduces the CMSX, the first in a new generation of process industry closed loop position controllers for quarter turn actuators. The new CMSX delivers high functionality at a price ...

Another option is to get a high-speed linear actuator with feedback. It allows you to change the actuator position by setting it up. Thus, this feature allows you to get a highly adjustable actuator.

A fully integrated linear actuator sensor eliminates the need for homing routines. Available for use with the company's BC3 pneumatic and B3S electric Series actuators, Absolute Position Feedback ...

In most cases these are on/off applications where the plunger is moved from one extreme position (when turned on) to another (when turned off). In this paper a scheme is presented to enable ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...

This article explains proportional integral derivative (PID) control, including the math behind it, with the use case of a linear servo motor.

Electric actuators with built-in CAN bus capabilities are a game-changer since they provide unprecedented monitoring and enhanced control capability.

It is the ideal solution for spacecraft applications involving motor driver servo control, linear actuator servo control and for driving stepper, brushless direct current (BLDC) and permanent ...
