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 … ...

Our Hackaday Prize judges agreed, placing his 3D Printed Servo Linear Actuator as one of twenty winners of our Robotics Module Challenge.

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom ...

Engineering an electric linear actuator (electric cylinder) system in-house is often the most cost and time-efficient route to an automated motion solution. Sometimes you are better off buying.
