  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. Active suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

    An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.

  4. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  5. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    The displacement achieved is commonly linear or rotational, as exemplified by linear motors and rotary motors, respectively. Rotary motion is more natural for small machines making large displacements. By means of a leadscrew, rotary motion can be adapted to function as a linear actuator (which produces a linear motion, but is not a linear motor).

  6. Servomotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

    This is the steering actuator of a large robot vehicle. Industrial servomotors and gearboxes, with standardised flange mountings for interchangeability. 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.

  7. Rigid chain actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator

    Rigid chain actuators function as rack and pinion linear actuators that use articulated racks. Rigid chain actuators use limited-articulation chains, usually resembling a roller chain, that engage with pinions mounted on a drive shaft within a housing. The links of the actuating member, the “rigid chain”, are articulated in a manner that ...

  8. Linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

    Free-body diagram of a U-channel synchronous linear motor. The view is perpendicular to the channel axis. The two coils at centre are mechanically connected, and are energized in "quadrature" (meaning a phase difference of 90° (π/2 radians) between the flux of the magnets and the flux of the coils).

  9. Segmented spindle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_spindle

    A segmented spindle, also known by the trademark Kataka, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator conceived by the Danish mechanical engineer Jens Joerren Soerensen during the mid-1990s. [1] The actuator forms a telescoping tubular column, or spindle, from linked segments resembling curved parallelograms. The telescoping linear actuator has ...
