[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

Over on Hackaday.io we have a lot of people playing around with the possibilities presented by cheap printed circuit boards. Whether that means making a quadcopter from fiberglass or a speaker from ...

PI's new P-653 OEM piezo motor / linear actuator is smaller & faster than mini motors. This patented, 8mm long true linear motor system (no rotation conversion) consists of only 4 parts and can ...

Weighing less than 0.5 oz, the MigaOne shape memory alloy (SMA) motor is a linear actuator built directly onto a PCB substrate. The motor is less than 0.1 in. thick and provides a 3/8-in. stroke at ...

ECM used its PCB stator technology and PrintStator motor CAD software to create an ultralight, efficient 3 hp electric pump motor. ECM applied its core business model and paired its patented PCB ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...
