Among the most vital material handling systems in use today are those that handle weaponry for the armed forces. Case in point: In Cincinnati, Ohio, Federal Equipment Co. is manufacturing 11 ...

This growth is fundamentally anchored in the global 'Electrification' mandate, which is driving a massive transition within the linear actuators industry away from legacy fluid-power systems toward ...

In ferrofluid actuation systems, forces are generated by actively controlling pressure and flow within the fluid using an applied magnetic field. There are multiple contributing factors in force ...

Linear actuators are useful things, moving things in straight lines rather than annoying circles like so many motors. [Retsetman] recently built a linear servo actuator of his own design with accurate ...

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 ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Designed to save users time in determining the most suitable linear actuator, the company’s online VCA Calculation Tool calculates the optimum linear voice coil actuator size for a given application.

OTTO is an open-source automated liquid handler that can be fabricated at a cost of $1,500 using off-the-shelf and 3D-printable parts as an alternative to commercial devices. Open-source approaches ...

A study in solar tracker pneumatic actuator design for harsh environments has raised average efficiency of a test panel using ...
