Abstract: This letter introduces a novel linear actuator with a high extension ratio, achieved through a unique planar transforming linkage mechanism (TLM) that serves as an articulated lead screw.

A belt-driven linear actuator from recycled ink printer. Controlled by PID controller implemented on STM32 Nuleo Board. This project will also include a comparision of different position control ...

Technology keeps getting smaller, smarter, and more precise, and so does the hardware behind it. Think about the tiny movements in a surgical tool or the exact positioning of a robotic arm. Those ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

What is a sensory weaver? [Curiosiate] tells us: “A device which takes sensory data feeds in and converts it in various ways on the body as information streams as though a native sensory input.” As an ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in mind ...

In August 2023, Apptronik released Apollo, its first commercial version of a bipedal humanoid robot. The company is no stranger to the development of legged robotics, having built multiple generations ...

SMAC’s new LPL80 line of electric linear moving coil actuators were designed for filling machines and come in the standard 80mm size. The actuators use a dc linear servo motor, replace air cylinders ...
