Want to know more about linear motion and the other three types? Everything naturally wants to move and change. In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control. Rotary Motion Rotary motion is anything that mo...

Do you know your actuator types? Actuators have three basic types: hydraulic, pneumatic and electric. They all do the same job, they just have different means of achieving linear motion. Additionally, they also each have their drawbacks and advantages. Knowing how each to achieve motion will help you in your decision-making process. Hydraulics While these actuators may be cheap, they do require a certain amount of peripheral equipment that can...

In this video, you will learn how to connect a linear actuator to the dc speed controller.  DC speed controller is very useful to control the speed of an actuator.  It becomes very important when two actuators or more are used at the same time. The DC speed controller will even out the speed for both electric motors. If you require detailed wiring diagrams, please visit the PDF section of our website or contact us with any other questions you...
