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 ...

An H-bridge servo drive module for National Instruments' CompactRIO embedded control and acquisition system offers direct connectivity to actuators, such as fractional-horsepower brushed DC servo ...

Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...

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 ...

UAVOS has debuted its Xservo-Series Hollow Shaft Servo Actuators, which feature embedded CANopen/EtherCAT servo drive. The actuators include a built-in motion controller, which allows users to skip ...

Servos are pretty basic fare for the seasoned hacker. But everyone has to start somewhere, and there’s sure to be someone who’ll benefit from this primer on servo internals. Who knows – maybe even the ...

SKF CASM Series servo actuators introduce ideal electromechanical solutions for applications historically performed by conventional pneumatic cylinders. Their technology in comparison inherently ...
