Addressing the key questions about the role of actuators in medical testing environments explains why actuator designs are changing to handle mass processing and eliminate ...

Air-spring actuators are noted for their durability. But they also hold several other advantages over conventional pneumatic cylinders. Air springs are rubber/fabric bellows that support and contain a ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

The quest to replicate the flexibility, controllability, and dexterity of human muscles and associated limbs has inspired some truly “non-obvious” but highly workable actuator concepts. For example, ...

Within the air brake systems of trucks and trailers, actuators play a vital, but largely unsung, role. Brake actuators are the devices that convert the compressed air force within a truck or trailer's ...
