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 ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. This model is ...

Compact linear translation stage family combines speed, precision, versatility, new from PI. With a footprint of just 80x80mm for the 40mm version, the V-141 is ideal for compact integration in OEM ...

The miniature GVCM-019-032-02 linear voice coil servo motor is ¾-in. in diameter and features a 0.875-in. stroke. This miniature linear servo motor features a continuous high-force-to-size ratio of ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

PI's new P-653 OEM piezo motor / linear actuator is smaller & faster than mini motors. This patented, 8mm long true linear motor system (no rotation conversion) consists of only 4 parts and can ...

The Mini ScrewRail is the miniature addition to the ScrewRail linear actuator line of non-ball lead screws. The entire ScrewRail line features a compact design for linear motion applications requiring ...

V-528 linear stages are motorized with voice coil linear motors to provide friction-less, maintenance-free motion in a compact package. https://www.pi-usa.us/en ...

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 ...

Size plays a key role in miniaturization and automation, where smaller is usually better. Conventional electromagnetic motors have certain restrictions when it comes to reducing dimensions while ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...
