  2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers , and in many other places where linear ...

  3. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    Actuator. An actuator is a component of a machine that produces force, torque, or displacement, usually in a controlled way, when an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic input is supplied to it in a system (called an actuating system). [1] An actuator converts such an input signal into the required form of mechanical energy.

  4. Linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

    A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus, instead of producing a torque (rotation), it produces a linear force along its length. However, linear motors are not necessarily straight. Characteristically, a linear motor's active section has ends, whereas more conventional motors are arranged as a ...

  5. Servomotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

    A servomotor (or servo motor or simply servo) [1] is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system. [1][2] It constitutes part of a servomechanism, and consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback and a controller (often a ...

  6. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

    Rack and pinion. A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack). [1] Together, they convert between rotational motion and linear motion: rotating the pinion causes the rack to be driven in a line. Conversely, moving the rack linearly will cause the pinion to rotate.

  7. Stewart platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_platform

    Stewart platforms are known by various other names. In many applications, including in flight simulators, it is commonly referred to as a motion base. [1] It is sometimes called a six-axis platform or 6-DoF platform because of its possible motions and, because the motions are produced by a combination of movements of multiple actuators, it may ...
