What is Duty Cycle?
Posted by on 4/10/2017 to
People regularly call us and want to know 'what is duty cycle?" Our products, as with most electronic devices, have a maximum recommended duty cycle. Ensuring that you run the device at or below the max recommended duty cycle ensures that you will get the longest life possible out of your actuator.

Linear Actuators For Robotics - A Thousand Applications
Posted by on 3/10/2017 to
Robots have come a long way in the last few decades. The word robot used to conjure up images of the B-9 Robot from Lost In Space or R2D2 and C3PO from Star Wars. In the 1980s, we were introduced to the Terminator, one of the more modern ideas of what a robot should be. Linear actuators in robotics have helped advance the technology to something that looks a little more at-home in the 21st century.
How To Use An S Series Micro Linear Actuator With RC
Posted by on 2/24/2017 to
If you're familiar with our products, you may already know that we offer an entire line of linear servos that are plug and play compatible with most RC receivers. These are the PQ12-R, the L12-R and L16-R in their various different gearing ratios. These are ideal for most RC projects that require linear motion.
Attention All Makers!

What Are Micro Linear Actuators?
Posted by on 1/25/2017 to
If you're new to the world of robotics, you might be wondering "what are micro linear actuators?" Simply put, they are small devices that convert rotary motion into linear motion. They work in much the same way as large-scale actuators, but are physically smaller in size. This makes them more suitable to tight spaces and applications where weight must be kept to a minimum.
