One hard disk recently failed in the EEVBlog laboratory’s NAS. Keeping true to his catch phrase, [Dave “Tear it Apart” Jones] opened it up and gave us an inside tour of a modern hard disk drive. There ...

Electromagnetic actuators exert small amounts of force, but are simple and definitely have their niche. [SeanHodgins] took a design that’s common in flip-dot displays as well as the lightweight RC ...

Engineers need to know the difference between the two actuators to assure they specify the right ones for their applications. In the world of fast-paced industrial automation, design engineers build ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

CBS ArcSafe has introduced its remote switch actuator for ABB/Sace Megamax F-Series low-voltage power circuit breakers. Designed for all sizes of ABB/Sace F-series (F1 to F6) circuit breakers with ...

Conventionally engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise robotic systems. However, biological systems often out perform these robotic systems by utilizing soft deformable bodies.
