One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a ...

This work presents a soft pneumatic linear actuator designed as a bellow-shaped structure made of silicone rubber that operates with negative pressure to contract and with positive pressure to extend.

High-quality linear actuators are tiny powerhouses: Despite their compact size, they support high input speeds and, at the same time, deliver high output forces. When selecting a linear actuator ...

The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was developed as a way to turn a mini servo into a linear actuator, giving it more power in the process. A servo uses a potentiometer attached to the output ...
