Why doubling a hard drive's IOPS still can't beat cheap NVMe ...

Automation starts with a simple promise: a system gets an instruction, and the physical world reacts. Conveyor lines move ...

Silicon photonic systems rely increasingly on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) actuators to provide precise beam steering, wavelength tuning, and optical switching. These applications demand ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

When it comes to the “build versus buy” question, “buy” almost always wins. The amount of time you have to put into building something is rarely justified, especially with a world of options available ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Many industrial applications require practical and complex linear-motion systems during daily operation. No matter how ...

Most electromagnetic actuators are rotating motors, or some variation on the theme, like servos. However, it’s possible to do linear actuation with electomagnetics, too. [Adrian Perez] demonstrates ...
