In the early days of automation, a machine’s strength was measured by how much force it could deliver. Today, it’s measured by how intelligently — and safely — it moves. Whether in industrial automation, home robotics, medical equipment, or everyday smart devices, safety actuators are becoming the quiet guardians behind reliable motion systems. These safety linear actuators aren’t just about pushing and pulling; they’re about preventing pinch ...

by Ajay Arora Applications that require linear actuators with positioning control get the most out of feedback actuators. Also known as ‘actuators with potentiometers,’ the motion devices allow a user to determine where along the stroke their actuator is, and then move their actuator forward or backward based on the information they have received. So, how does a potentiometer work? How a Potentiometer Works Commonly, potentiometers are used t...
