Components of a Linear ActuatorPower SourceThis AC or DC motor provides the energy necessary to drive the actuator. While electricity is the most common energy source, air and fluid energy are also used in some applications.Power Converter
Cartesian– Like a 6-axis robotic arm,Cartesian robotswork in multiple planes. These robots move in three orthogonal axes (X, Y and Z) usingCartesian coordinates. They can be constructed with any type of linear actuator and several types of drive mechanisms such as belt, ball or lead screw ...

Using a servo drive to control a voice coil is analogous to brushed DC servo motor control, the main difference being motion is linear instead of rotational. In the case of a servo motor control, current is proportional to torque, whereas in a voice coil control, current is proportional to ...
"The type of actuator you need is dependent on the work you need it to do," Johnson said. A hydraulic actuator with linear movement meets the need to lift something heavy in a straight line up and down. Pneumatic actuators with rotary movement would be the likelychoice for a robotic arm...
Pneumatic actuator These actuators use the principle of Pneumatics (where pressurized air/gas) to create motion (or perform work). Pneumatic actuators can be used to produce both rotational motion and linear motion. The basic design includes a Cylinder, a Piston and few supporting components like...
We’ll look closely at the operation and application of the most common pneumatic actuator, the spring/diaphragm linear pneumatic actuator. First of all, let’s look at Actuators in general. What is an Actuator? Simply stated, an actuator is a device that makes something move or operate. ...
s expansion effect will generate a useful force & movement. These types of actuators use thepiezoelectric effectfor generating linear displacements which range from 0.1 – 0.15% of the length of the actuator. The force density of these actuators is high typically 30 N/mm^2 range and also high...

Types of Actuators Depending on the motion that actuators provide to the valves, two types of actuator mechanisms are available: Rotary Actuators, and Linear Actuators Rotary actuators produce the rotating motion to operate valves like aball,butterfly, andplug valves. On the other hand, Linear act...
