- An Overview of Modern Day Uses of a Linear Actuator - by Submitted on Jul 17, 2012 from Michael AdamsA linear actuator is a device that produces movement or work by using non-linear energy and converting it into linear motion. An object that needs to travel in a straight line can be moved using a linear actuator. Traditionally, hydraulic, mechanical, and air-powered actuators have been used. ...
Views: 483 - Linear Motors are a Better Alternative to Hydraulic Devices - by Submitted on Jun 12, 2012 from Michael AdamsIn the contemporary scenario, electric linear motors have emerged as a smarter and better alternative to hydraulic, mechanical and pneumatic motors. The electric motors are far more precise, programmable and offer better repeatability for several critical tasks. In addition, the electric ...
Views: 730(1 vote) - The Uses of an Electric Actuator in the Packaging Industry - by Submitted on Dec 31, 1969 from Michael AdamsAn electric actuator is a motor that produces motion in a straight or linear line. They are used in several industrial globally. However, in this article we shall focus on the use of such actuators in the packaging industry. There are applications such as applying labels, product placement on ...
Views: 659 - Using a Linear Actuator in Assembly Applications - by Submitted on Dec 31, 1969 from Michael AdamsA device that converts a hydraulic, electric or battery generated power source into linear (straight line) motion is known as a linear actuator. This is different from the circular motion generated by an electric motor. To state a simple example of such an actuator that generates linear motion, ...
Views: 869 - Linear Motors Offers Many Advantages over Pneumatic Devices - by Submitted on May 12, 2012 from Michael AdamsA motor that creates motion in a linear direction through direct induction is often defined as a linear motor. It offers electric traction in a linear manner rather than a rotary direction. Conventional motors are used when rotary motion is required to be generated. This device has been in ...
Views: 550 - A Linear Actuator Helps in Dispensing, Packaging & Assembly - by Submitted on Mar 29, 2012 from Michael AdamsThe definition of a linear actuator is ‘a device that converts some kind of power, such as hydraulic or electric power, into linear motion.’ Such actuators are used in hundreds of applications in the industrial, commercial and consumer products industry. So whether it is applications such as ...
Views: 496 - Electric Actuator and Its Uses in the Glassmaking Industry - by Submitted on Mar 05, 2012 from Michael AdamsA high quality electric actuator is defined by attributes such as precisely controllable speeds, positions and forces. All these qualities make such actuators very valuable in the glassmaking industry. An actuator that comes in contact with a material as fragile as glass needs to be highly ...
Views: 667 - How Linear Motors Have Given the Packaging Industry a Boost - by Submitted on Feb 28, 2012 from Michael AdamsTill about four decades ago pneumatic servo systems were in high demand. But they presented several problems such as leaks and individual power units per machine. In the phase that followed, cam driven screw machines were gradually replaced by ball screw actuators. Eventually, the 90s saw the ...
Views: 646(1 vote) - How a Linear Actuator Can Efficiently Replace a Pneumatic Drive - by Submitted on Feb 22, 2012 from Michael AdamsThere are several reasons why electric linear actuators are slowly edging out pneumatic ones. Parameters such as better speed, force and technological compatibility have largely been influencing buyers’ decisions in the recent past. Let’s take a look at some of the defining characteristics of an ...
