has announced a significant upgrade to its stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) online selector tool, adding the ability to include encoders in the design process. The new option streamlines the ...

At MD&M West 2025, Henry Kim, a regional sales engineer at Harmonic Drive, demonstrated advancements in actuator design.

A servo motor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled with a sensor ...

Abstract: There are lots of actual factors that cause the thrust nonlinearity (or thrust fluctuation) of permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (PMSLM), which increases the difficulty of controller ...
