The SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art lens is a surprisingly compact, full-frame, wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens with a fast constant aperture. Available for Sony E-mount and L-Mount, this lens spans several popular focal lengths from 28mm to 105mm including the very popular 85mm focal length for portraiture, remaining at F2.8 through the entire range. Featuring HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus, and optical performance that lives up to the standard of Art line lenses, the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art joins SIGMA's lineup of fast-aperture zoom lenses in the Art line, offering photographers and videographers a variety of premium standard zoom options depending on their personal style. Like the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art and the 28-45mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, the new 28-105mm F2.8 includes a lockable aperture ring with click/declick function, as well as two AFL buttons and a zoom lock switch. Additionally, the dust- and splash-resistant design and water-and oil-repellant coating on the front element also makes it suitable for shooting both stills and video in inclement weather. A minimum focusing distance of 15.8 inches (40cm) at all focal lengths, and maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at the telephoto end add to the versatility of this new zoom lens. This lens also features a rounded twelve-blade diaphragm, which helps to keep the large-aperture unit as small as possible. Measures have been taken to minimize changes in optical performance due to differences in zoom and focus positions, including the use of a difficult-to-process large-diameter FLD glass in the first group to suppress aberrations in each group. In addition, the use of 5 aspherical lens elements has enabled the lens to achieve both a wide zoom range of 28mm to 105mm and a large-aperture of F2.8, while reducing its overall size. By thoroughly reducing the weight of each part, the lens is kept under 2 pounds while achieving both a wide zoom range and an F2.8 aperture. The lens barrel near the mount is made of magnesium rather than aluminum, ensuring rigidity while reducing the weight of these parts alone by two-thirds.

A SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art é a objetiva de referência da SIGMA que evoluiu significativamente em relação à sua antecessora, incorporando as tecnologias mais avançadas disponíveis na SIGMA, desde o design à produção. Em comparação com a anterior SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, a SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art oferece um maior poder de resolução em toda a gama de zoom, beneficiando também de melhorias funcionais como a adição de um anel de abertura e AF de alta velocidade graças a um motor AF redesenhado, o HLA (High-response Linear Actuator). A objetiva é também cerca de 7% mais pequena e 10% mais leve. Esta objetiva Art zoom 24-70mm F2.8 é uma ferramenta versátil e de elevado desempenho que ajudará os fotógrafos e realizadores a libertarem a sua criatividade.

We thought you would like to understand exactly how a Linear Actuator works, and that if you understand the basic principals, you would then understand why there is always a Force/Speed trade-off, and how that's important for you when selecting the correct Actuator for your application.
These feedback linear Actuators are equipped with a built-in Bourns potentiometers so you can easily determine the position of the actuator.
Low-Cost Linear Actuator Based on the Sarrus Linkage: Linear actuators are used in all sorts of cool machines such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC routers.

Designed and licensed by BricKimi, including trucks and containers. The truck has numerous realistic features, adjustable doors on the steering wheel and a very detailed interior. There is a light bar on the roof that you can remove if you don't want a show truck. There is a special system for the hook loader part. There is actually a change between loading, unloading and tipping and the change is done by leverage in this system. The hook arm is split into two parts, both controlled by large linear actuators, so the door of a very strong container can be opened in 2 different ways! Then it features rolling wheels and hook points and needs to be attached to the truck with two axles.

Synchronous motion between mutliple linear actuators can be vital to the success of some customer applications, one common one being two linear actuators opening a trapdoor. In order to achieve this we recommend using the dedicated Firgelli synchronous control box FA-SYNC-2 and FA-SYNC-4.
There are lots of types of electrical switches out there, so how do you know which one is best for controlling a linear actuator. As you are most likely wanting to extend and retract your linear actuator, you will want to use a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) ON-OFF-ON switch.
Are you tired of wasting your time and money searching for the best quality linear actuator? Frustrated by actuators that look identical but in reality are not the same?
One of the most common uses of linear actuators is to automate the opening or closing of a hatch or lid. These situations could include applications like raising a tonneau cover on a pickup truck or opening a trapdoor to a wine cellar.
