Linear actuators are devices that convert any rotary or spinning motion into a linear (straight) motion. In simple words, they help machins move forward and backward. The most basic type of linear ...

Compressive forces (labeled F and F/2) keep the three inner rings in contact with the driveshaft. The ability to produce smooth, precise, and accurate linear motion is key to many manufacturing and ...

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...
