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 ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

The Powerflux™ side-by-side electromagnetic actuator combines radial and axial force generation functions in one device in a unique and highly efficient manner that significantly benefits the ...

In the world of robotics, soft robots are the new kids on the block. The unique capabilities of these automata are to bend, deform, stretch, twist or squeeze in all the ways that conventional rigid ...

Cambridge design consultancy Sentec has set-up an electromagnetic actuator group. Best known for smart electricity meters, which include proprietary precision electromagnetic current sensors, the firm ...

High-speed solenoid valves and electromagnetic actuators represent a critical intersection of electrical and mechanical engineering, enabling rapid, precise control of fluid or gas flows in a myriad ...

Last December at the Future of Electric Vehicles conference in San Jose, a representative from The Netherlands' Eindhoven University of Technology presented research that his institution had been ...

The Bose Ride system replaces air-ride truck seats with a new kind of electromagnetic suspension base and integrated, custom-designed seat top. A high-power linear electromagnetic actuator and ...

We love electromagnetic displays: take the modern look of a digital readout, combine with the low-tech coil mechanism that you theoretically could create yourself, add a dash of random clacking sounds ...

The day where humans and robots collaborate in close proximity is becoming easier to envision. Emerging soft robots may help to ensure this can be done safely and in a way that syncs to human ...
