From ‘zipper crush’ to the actuation of a tear-notch-cutting assembly, these linear servo motors are just the ticket. They also minimize up-front cost as well as ongoing energy consumption. This ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

All in a very small footprint, this integrated packaging system forms, loads, and closes cartons thanks to its “racetrack” conveyor powered by servo linear motors. A servo linear conveying system ...

Motion in a Straight Line: Linear motors provide exceptional and stable performance over the life of the machine. This eBook places the focus on the effective design of motion control solutions for ...

Micro servomotors are a hacker staple. You’ll find maybe four or five in an RC plane, while a hexbot build could soak up a dozen or more of the cheap and readily available devices. Unfortunately, long ...

Visitors to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (Sept. 9-15, booth 4104) will be able to see a linear motor made for high-force applications. The design is intended to replace ball-screw ...

What do you get when you cross a glue stick with a hobby servo motor? A linear actuator, of course! Although this could be done with other household implements, the form factor of this glue stick ...

The precise meaning of the term ‘servo’ in the context of motors and drives is difficult to pin down. Broadly speaking, if a drive incorporates ‘servo’ in its description, the implication is that it ...
