Several factors significantly influence the decision to use pneumatic or electric control in a linear motion control application. The obvious considerations include the technology preference in use at ...

Hysteresis modelling and the subsequent control of actuators constitute a critical research area that underpins the precision and reliability of advanced motion systems. The phenomenon of ...

AutomationDirect has added second generation (Gen 2) linear motion slide actuators to its SureMotion line of motion control products. The SureMotion lineup includes both motor-ready actuator ...

This video offers a glimpse into the features of PiezoMike series of linear actuators by Physik Instrumente (PI). Based on low-cost inertia principle, the PiezoMike linear actuators are distinguished ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

It seems almost all industries use linear actuators in some way—perhaps to move inventory, products, or components, or to carry out manufacturing and assembly processes. They convert energy into a ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

Bag valve masks, also called ambu bags (artificial manual breathing units) are used to deliver oxygen to patients who aren’t breathing on their own. But while they have saved many lives, they are not ...
