Another option is to get a high-speed linear actuator with feedback. It allows you to change the actuator position by setting it up. Thus, this feature allows you to get a highly adjustable actuator.

Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...

This article explains proportional integral derivative (PID) control, including the math behind it, with the use case of a linear servo motor.

In most cases these are on/off applications where the plunger is moved from one extreme position (when turned on) to another (when turned off). In this paper a scheme is presented to enable ...

Electric actuators with built-in CAN bus capabilities are a game-changer since they provide unprecedented monitoring and enhanced control capability.

A fully integrated linear actuator sensor eliminates the need for homing routines. Available for use with the company's BC3 pneumatic and B3S electric Series actuators, Absolute Position Feedback ...

Festo introduces the CMSX, the first in a new generation of process industry closed loop position controllers for quarter turn actuators. The new CMSX delivers high functionality at a price ...

Finally, we successfully perform closed-loop control of one folded HASEL actuator using the sensor, which is then scaled into a deformable tilting platform of six units (one HASEL actuator and one ...
