Actuators are the key to allowing machines to become more sophisticated and perform complex tasks that were previously done by humans, providing motion in a safe, controlled manner.<\/p>\n

\nAs defined in this book, actuator design is a subset of mechanical design. It involves engineering the mechanical components necessary to make a product move as desired. <\/p>\n

\nFundamentals of Engineering High-Performance Actuator Systems<\/em>, by Ken Hummel, was written as a text to supplement actuator design courses, and a reference to engineers involved in the design of high-performance actuator systems. It highlights the design approach and features what should be considered when moving a payload at precision levels and\/or speeds that are not as important in low-performance applications.<\/p>\n

\nThe main areas covered in this book are:
