The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Thomson Industries , a manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced an“enhanced synchronisation” option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration of this ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

In a linear actuator, temperature changes can cause the extension or shortening of an actuator’s mechanical components, significantly decreasing accuracy and repeatability. A linear actuator combines ...
