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 ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear ... actuator, giving it more power in the process. A servo uses a potentiometer attached to the output ...

Problem: When engineers at a medical equipment manufacturer in Switzerland were designing a new robotic sampling station, they needed an accurate, miniature linear actuator that would comply with ...

in proper sequence causes the threaded shaft to move out of, or back into, the rotor in precise linear increments. When power is removed, the actuator shaft remains in position. Weighing only 1.2 oz.
