The STA11 direct-drive linear actuator allows the mounting of multiple units on 28-mm centers, permitting a 10-actuator assembly less than 12 in. wide. This addition to Copley Controls' ServoTube line ...
The LAS13 series of linear voice-coil actuators offers 6 mm of total stroke and 15.5N peak force in packages measuring only 1.3 in. in diameter and 1.1 to 1.8 in. long. The fully housed LAS13-18-000A ...
The LAS28-53-00A smart housed voice coil actuator has a position feedback sensor with analog output for servo positioning or velocity control. The actuator features a maximum 1.0 inch stroke and a ...
Vishay has revealed a high-speed and high-precision inductive rotational position sensor. As the device, RAIK060, uses induction, it “isn’t sensitive to magnetic environments, allowing it to be used ...
A new test stand purchased by Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) in late March will enable a faster and improved analysis of four F/A-18 legacy and Super Hornet flight control stick position ...
Objective functions in the actuator-position optimization problems for linear time-invariant systems were scrutinized by using relationship between objective functions of the actuator-position ...
