New 12V DC linear actuator widely applied in 4×4 vehicle and sport truck slide steps now available from stock in Minnesota USA. Midwest Motion Products of Howard Lake, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new DC linear actuator, the model MMP LA3-12V-5-A-SP-100. The actuator accepts any 12V DC input, including automotive battery […]
3DP leadscrew nut insert from Haydon Kerk boosts accuracy of 3D-printed prototypes
Now, a 3DP (3D-printed) leadscrew-nut insert prototype service from AMETEK Haydon Kerk gives machine builders a way to verify linear-motion design iterations quickly and more accurately. Engineers typically do not have access to 3D printers to do this prototyping. Instead, most of them contract with a third party to get quick turnaround on parts. With […]
AMK SPINDASYN SEZ linear drive motor — rotor is integrated with screw
The new SPINDASYN SEZ electric cylinder from AMK Automation is a ready-to-install linear drive motor system in which the rotor is pressed directly onto the screw. Featuring high and constant force, high precision and position accuracy and high energy efficiency, the closed-loop positioning and force control of the SEZ make it an suitable alternative to […]
Linear-actuator application example: New angle on wheelchair vehicle accessibility
Kneeling systems have become widespread on custom wheelchair-accessible vehicles from BraunAbility and other accessible-vehicle converters. Here linear actuators lower vehicles’ rear suspension to reduce the incline angle of wheelchair ramps for easier access. Because the actuators typically mount under the vehicle chassis, they must be rugged. “Our vehicles typically kneel 2.5 to 3 in. We […]
High-speed linear actuators: What qualifies them as high speed?
Like many terms used in the linear motion industry, such as “heavy duty,” “miniature,” and “corrosion-resistant,” to name a few, there is no industry standard that specifies what constitutes a “high-speed” linear actuator. Nevertheless, there are some general guidelines that manufacturers follow when classifying and marketing their actuators as high speed. These guidelines are typically […]
Oriental Motor linear actuators: Now with battery-free absolute feedback and AZ Series performance
Oriental Motor USA now offers AZ Series technology with absolute mechanical encoders across: The Oriental Motor EZS Series of electric linear slides The Oriental Motor EAC family of electric cylinders AZ Series offerings work in advanced positioning applications because of their closed-loop control. Linear-motion designs of the AZ Series also substantially reduce heat generation from […]

Schneider Electric announces the release of Lexium MDrive (LMD) linear actuators, delivering clean, quiet linear motion to a wide range of applications from medical to packaging. These compact motion products integrate robust motor, electronics and linear mechanicals, providing machine builders with solutions that can reduce their system cost, design and assembly time. For more LMD linear product […]
What is a 12 volt linear actuator?
Linear actuators are typically characterized by their drive mechanism – belt drive, ball or lead screw drive, pneumatic drive, etc. But it’s not unusual for rod style electric actuators to be classified by the input voltage – commonly 12 or 24 volts – of their integrated motors. These actuators provide thrust force, much like a […]
Cyber dynamic linear actuators with integrated ball screw from WITTENSTEIN
Ideal for packaging, food & beverage, medical and semiconductor applications, the latest addition to the cyber® dynamic line from WITTENSTEIN cyber motor offers maintenance-free precision positioning in compact space. As part of its cyber dynamic line product series, WITTENSTEIN cyber motor has launched a new series of linear actuators designed with an integrated ball screw […]
Linear actuator designs for vertical lifts: How to size a jack?
Linear actuator designs for vertical lifts often take the form of worm screw jacks. There are several criteria by which a worm screw jack can be sized properly — six primary factors, to be exact. First is the basic tonnage rating of the jack. This is simply the overall capacity that a jack can handle […]
