James Bruton well known for his YouTube channel which sees him creating a wide variety of huge 3D printed robots and electronic devices has this week published a new video looking at building an ...

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 ...

[Harrison Low] published some 3D-printed linear actuators, which generated a lot of interest. He got a lot of advice from people on the Internet, and he took it to heart. The result: an improved ...

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys kick off the first episode of the new year with the best hacks the internet has to offer. There’s a deep dive into water-level sensing using a ...

Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control system designed specifically for harsh environments. This particular linear actuator is used to control the power to a cement ...
