Title: I am a beginner on: Actuators!
Post by: Meriem on January 16, 2007, 06:29:54 AM

Hello,

I have just registered, so I am a New member ;)

I was just wondering if I could help regarding electromechanical Actuators,...info...from your experience

especially on ACTUATOR COUPLING issues.

I am runing experiement that involves that.

Thanks for helping and your time!

Meriem:)

What kinds (and sizes) of actuators does your experiment involve? I would venture a guess that most of the participants in this forum are using mainly R/C servos, linked using tie-rods, and small PM DC motors. Coupling issues become more critical, for both linear and rotary motion, as service loads and actuation distances are increased – and in more harsh environments (such as underwater, or in dirty industrial areas).
