Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...

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 ...

DE-STA-CO's CAMCO RSD rotary servo drive is a zero-backlash,cam-actuated drive that can be used with both rotary and linear systems foraccurate, smooth motions even at high speeds or with rapid speed ...

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.

Tritex II dc-powered actuators combine power and control electronics with brushless servomotors and actuators in a compact package. With continuous force of 1,000 lb, speeds to 33 in./sec, and 12 to ...

From ‘zipper crush’ to the actuation of a tear-notch-cutting assembly, these linear servo motors are just the ticket. They also minimize up-front cost as well as ongoing energy consumption. This ...

Kollmorgen released the next update for the SafeMotion™ Monitor (SMM) firmware: SMM 3.0. This upgrade expands functional safety support for linear motors and linear axes, helping machine builders ...

Eighteen models cover a wide range of motion control applications, with rotary servos from 3 W to 55 kW in output. Users can choose from two direct drive servos and four linear products, including a ...

AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: AMOT) (“Allied Motion” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of precision and specialty controlled motion products and ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...
