The evolution of science has led to many discoveries, including linear actuators that are heavily used in different industries. A linear actuator is a device that helps to convert electrical energy ...

Compressive forces (labeled F and F/2) keep the three inner rings in contact with the driveshaft. The ability to produce smooth, precise, and accurate linear motion is key to many manufacturing and ...

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...
