RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

Tolomatic has been building its portfolio of motion control solutions since 1954. The range includes electric linear actuators, pneumatic actuators and power transmission products for factory ...

The miniature GVCM-019-032-02 linear voice coil servo motor is ¾-in. in diameter and features a 0.875-in. stroke. This miniature linear servo motor features a continuous high-force-to-size ratio of ...

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.

A while back, [Windell] from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories wrote up an article for Make Magazine detailing how he built a one-ton, servo-controlled scissor jack for under $100. He dropped us a line ...

The LVCM-010-013-01 linear voice coil motor is 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) in diameter and the length at mid-stroke is 0.81 in. (20.7 mm) long. This miniature voice coil motor has a high force-to-size ratio ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...
