Today, electric actuators are easier than ever to specify and install. Value-add services from component suppliers as well as application-specific actuator product lines (especially for battery-powered designs in mobile equipment and consumer use) eliminate many integration tasks for OEMs and end users. These are trends supported in part by a movement Design World has tracked […]

Four technical articles about linear-axis options
Our site here at linearmotiontips.com is part of the Design World Network. So, while we house an extensive online library covering linear-axis motion in technical articles, our sister site at motioncontroltips.com contains an equally useful lineup. Here are three technical articles from that site that relate to linear motion, plus another from pneumatictips.com. Enjoy. Linear-motion article number one: […]
Direct drive combines linear and rotary motions
by Ernst Blumer, LinMot & MagSpring Linear-rotary motors provide users with greater on-the-fly process flexibility. Linear-rotary motions are required in many machine applications, such as carton closing or handling and pick-and-place systems. For the first time, LinMot, a manufacturer of linear motor systems, has combined a linear motor with a servomotor in a compact unit […]
