A UK firm has developed reference designs for locks and gas valves based on piezoelectric actuators with up to 2mm displacement. Harlow-based Servocell said it is already working with firms on ...

In recent years industry has shown growing interest in linear ultrasonic piezoelectric actuators and ultrasonic drives. Well-known manufacturers of micropositioning systems have increasingly put ...

Liebherr-Aerospace sees electro-mechanical actuators as replacements for servo-control actuators on legacy aircraft, but limited to less critical control surfaces, such as spoilers. Credit: Liebherr ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...

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 ...
