SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — In industrial systems, the monitoring, control, and maintenance of valves is a demanding task as the operating data is not available directly at the actuator or valve and ...

Thermal actuators are components that produce linear movements through the expansion and contraction of thermally responsive materials. These devices seamlessly integrate temperature sensing and ...

Spherical actuators are electromechanical devices capable of delivering rotational motion across three degrees of freedom within a single, compact assembly. By integrating permanent magnets, ...

Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source. Selecting the correct valve actuator will increase uptime, reduce ...

Hydraulic actuators have long been the go-to choice for engineers looking to produce large forces or move heavy loads. Today, however, an increasing number of engineers are choosing electromechanical ...

Electric linear actuator is a compact device that converts electrical energy into straight-line motion by using a motor.

As the automation and motion control needs of industries using control and drive functions continue to change and progress, the technology that meets those needs must adapt to the growing demand for ...

As Physical AI and Vision-Language-Action models advance, humanoid robots are becoming better at perception, reasoning and ...

Soft robots are becoming increasingly prevalent, with unique applications to medical devices and wearable technology. Understanding the dynamics of nonlinear soft actuators is crucial to creating ...

Actuators, which predate the digital era, are hardware components at the heart of many IoT deployments. At the most basic level, an actuator is a device that converts energy into movement. "They are ...
