Electric rod-actuators are replacing fluid power actuators for many high-force applications throughout industry. Tasks once limited to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders such as pressing, holding, ...

Hydraulic cylinders, known for their high force at an affordable cost, have been widely used in factory automation equipment and other special automation equipment for decades. Hydraulics are rugged, ...

Actuators with built-in encoders and precision guidance enable position, speed and force adjustments on-the-fly without mechanical reconfiguration or production delays. Integrated diagnostics monitor ...

The LPL 30 actuators from SMAC are low-profile electric linear moving coil actuators. Designed for dosing and dispensing applications, they have a compact size, 10mm programmable stroke, and 30mm ...

In the quest for electrically-driven soft actuators, the focus has shifted away from liquid-gas phase transition, commonly associated with reduced strain rates and actuation delays, in favour of ...

At a time of surging demand for electric energy, the power industry has to ensure reliable and stable supply with the flexibility needed to handle intermittent wind and solar generation. Through ...

Modern electronic diesel engines use ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and have sophisticated fuel management systems that include integrated throttle control. Use of these engines results in ...

Liebherr-Aerospace sees electro-mechanical actuators as replacements for servo-control actuators on legacy aircraft, but limited to less critical control surfaces, such as spoilers. Credit: Liebherr ...
