A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

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.

Applicable to variable fill-level systems, the unit features failsafe functionality that, in the event of power or pressure failure, allows operations personnel to advance the drive unit manually to a ...

With forces to 1035 lbf continuous and 2075 lbf peak, the AC powered 75 mm linear actuator with its 1.5 kW servo amplifier delivers both power and speed in a small package. The actuators combine a ...

Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...
