Learn the basics of sensors and actuators, how to choose, connect, test, and calibrate them for various robotics applications.

This paper investigates the usage of Arduino microcontroller to control closed loop of Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) actuator response designed for compact underwater application. We ...

Learn about the most commonly available automated valve types, how to determine valve sizing, and the different actuator options for process control valves.

Actuators work behind the scenes in vehicles to convert energy into a physical action or force, and they perform a variety of performance and convenience functions.

Why are electric actuators increasingly replacing hydraulic and fluid-power actuators in demanding applications?

Arduino is a good option when it comes to actuator control. With Arduino, you can apply linear actuators in multiple projects, even those that require top precision speed and movement accuracy.

Building an affordable lower power linear actuator using little Arduino hardware and programming. James Bruton takes you through the process ...

Selecting the right linear actuator for your application involves accounting for the necessary speed, load, stroke length, and more.
