Linear actuators can be designed compactly, are easily mounted and integrated with little to no maintenance, and can be built to withstand poor conditions. Their design is limited by stroke length ...

As an example, they’ve built one. This one, called “MK2 Lockpick” is a wrist-mounted array of linear actuators, with a lengthy design/build log to peek into. We don’t get PCB files (blame ...

This standard provides the basic requirements for double-acting and spring return hydraulic valve actuators design and performance. The standard is to provide hydraulic actuators that can easily be ...

the completed actuator can lift 300 grams. We like [Roger]’s build process, especially the iterative approach to improving the design. We’ll stay tuned to see where it goes next – a ...

Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a team at the Beihang University in China, the robot operated at a depth of 10 ...

Researchers at Empa are developing artificial muscles that could one day move like real ones. Using advanced 3D printing, ...

The company has upgraded its online selection tool for stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) with a new feature that allows users to include encoders in their design process. This enhancement ...

Aalberts IPS showcases actuation valves designed to meet evolving demands of industrial, commercial and utility applications.

Researchers have made significant strides in developing artificial muscles through innovative 3D-printed soft actuators, ...

Asymmetric-expansion photothermal actuators have drawn interest due to its straightforward design, stability, quick reaction time, and accurate control. Their total performance is hampered by ...
