Moving a load in a straight line can be done using a variety of linear actuator devices employing both rod and rodless technologies. For rod-style actuation requiring lower amounts of force ...

Designers getting ready to choose a linear actuator for a specific device or machine should have a list of questions ready to ask suppliers and manufacturers of those devices. These lists usually ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When it comes to linear motion, engineers often face two choices: voice-coil actuators (VCAs) or solenoids. Both are ...

Beyond simple on/off use cases, you’ll find linear solenoids in many applications requiring precise linear motion and the regulation of pressure, fluid or air. Automotive applications include ...
