NEW ROCKER SWITCHES FOR ACTUATOR OPERATION

For the simple approach in operating your actuator, a rocker switch is the perfect unit as it is easy to use, versatile and can be discreetly located. Rocker switches can be recessed into a wall or into an enclosure box, making them out-of-sight yet easily accessible. The newest additions to our rocker switch inventory include turn switches, key switches and emergency push buttons. Along with these new switches, we have introduced an enclosure box for turn/key switches as well as an enclosed push button switch. In this article, I will be going over the details on these new switches and how they may be perfect for your next application.

TRACK LINEAR ACTUATORS AND THEIR FURTHER APPLICATIONS

Need more info on the uses and benefits of track linear motors? Read on.

Track linear actuators are perfect for devices that require fixed vertical or horizontal motion; they operate much like other actuators except their range of motion is enclosed in a track instead of projecting out into the open air. This means that they can be much stronger and more rugged than an equivalent traditional device due to how the track both creates a pre-defined path for the force, and supports the structure. They have various applications in the home, agriculture, manufacturing, they can be used in so many applications because of a wide selection based on force, speed, and stroke length.

FEEDBACK ACTUATOR USES AND APPLICATIONS

The many uses of feedback actuators.

Commercial uses for feedback actuators include a wide range of products, services and industries, from printing paper to packaging solutions to hospital and laboratory equipment. You'll find them in printers to realign the printer heads. You can also find them in braking cylinders, wheelchair mechanisms and smartphones. A feedback linear actuator can animate a robotic arm for example while providing feedback automation.

HOW TO MOUNT A LINEAR ACTUATOR EFFICIENTLY (TRAPDOOR EXAMPLE)

One of the most important steps in selecting a linear actuator is choosing the appropriate force rating. It is quite simple when the application requires a load to be lifted vertically, wherein the weight of the load being lifted is equal to the force required from the actuator. A more challenging scenario is if you have a hinge-type application, as commonly seen with lids, trapdoors and windows.
