The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC rolled out a new dual die, highly programmable linear hall sensor IC that is an ideal solution for safety-critical applications. It incorporates full die redundancy with the ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...
