The 28000 Series size 11 double-stack external hybrid linear actuator features a rotating stainless-steel lead screw into the motor’s rotor, eliminating shaft-to-lead screw couplers. The linear ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

Engineers need to know the difference between the two actuators to assure they specify the right ones for their applications. In the world of fast-paced industrial automation, design engineers build ...
