Selecting appropriate materials and coatings is imperative for protecting electric actuators from corrosion. Stainless steel ...

This simple STM setup utilises a piezoelectric actuator constructed by deliberately cutting a piezo speaker into four quadrants. With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants.

This has resulted in considerable debate about the best overall technology—pneumatic or electric linear actuators—for automation applications. Pneumatic cylinders have long been popular for providing ...
