Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed a hydraulic actuator that will allow tough robots to operate in disaster sites and other harsh environments. The Tokyo Tech ...

When Bobcat launched its T7X compact tracked loader just in time for ConExpo last year, it wasn’t only different in the sense that it was electrically powered. More unusually, the machine also did ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in mind ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...
