It's been a couple of weeks since Actuonix Motion Devices got back from the D&M West Trade Show in Anaheim. Hosted annually at the beautiful Anaheim Convention Center, D&M West is part of the larger IME West brand that runs several shows

Share: --> As micro linear actuators increase in popularity, people are turning to drive more and more sophisticated systems. For most applications,

Electric actuators are common in many different types of equipment across dozens of industries. Whether it's automating industrial tasks or making small adjustments in everyday devices, actuators are crucial. This article aims to

Synchronize linear actuators like a pro: Read our step-by-step guide to perfect motion control. Achieve precision in your automation projects with Actuonix. From time to time, our clients ask us how to synchronize two

While there are volumes of information online about the duty cycle, it’s really a relatively simple concept. Duty cycle is simply the ratio of time a circuit is on compared to the time that the circuit is off. Our products, as

'How does an actuator work’ is a question we hear fairly often here at Actuonix, and we understand why. Linear motion can involve some...

In this article, we’re going to help you understand what are linear actuators and how linear actuators work...

When it comes to linear actuators, designing new models and adding functionality can be time-consuming and expensive. To overcome this, we designed the Linear Actuator Control (LAC) board, and a line of linear actuators to work with it. The LAC

Automation is all around us, and much of it is driven by linear actuators. While it’s ideal to mount your actuator in a place that’s warm and dry, that’s not always realistic. Many applications are going to require an actuator to be mounted outdoors, directly or indirectly exposed to water and moisture. That’s likely why you’re on the hunt for a waterproof linear actuator. Keep reading to learn more about waterproof actuators and how to determine what level of protection you need.

When searching for ‘World’s Smallest Linear Actuator’ one thing quickly becomes apparent - many companies are claiming to produce the smallest actuator around. There may be a variety of reasons for this. I’ll quickly cover a few of these below.

As you likely know, linear actuators are devices that convert the rotary motion of an electric motor into linear motion. With the rise of robotics and automation, linear actuators have become an important component in a variety applications in dozens of industries. Actuonix is the industry leader in reliable, cost-effective micro actuators. Today I want to walk you through how our we produce our micro actuators.

Choosing the right actuator for your product can be a challenge. Today, I want to clear up one of the main distinctions between different types of actuators.

There are many ways to control linear actuators. One of the most popular is via a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch. DPDT switches are a simple way to control an actuator for a variety of applications.

How do stepper actuators work? You're likely familiar with linear actuators, which use a rotary motor to produce motion in a straight line. Standard actuators are powered by a brushed DC motor. A stepper motor actuator is functionally similar to a standard linear actuator, but the drive motor, rather than a standard DC motor, is a stepper-style motor.
