actuator arm

The servo will move based on the pulses sent over the control wire, which set the angle of the actuator arm.

In today's heads, the read and write elements are separate, but in close proximity, on the head portion of an actuator arm.

In a cellar-like room below, however, a spider's web of tubing and hydraulic actuator arms is connected to the table.

"An actuator arm for an oil-cooling door.

This can be achieved through a specially designed bracket that easily bolts on and restricts the movement of the actuator arm, keeping it from opening.

A servowriter is used to write servo tracks on the disk platters which make up part of the servomechanism that positions the actuator arm.

Seek times are not linear compared with the seek distance traveled because of factors of acceleration and deceleration of the actuator arm.

Edsinger's contribution to the Cog project was a Series Elastic Actuator arm and controllers for the body of the robot.

The lab group worked to create a cable-drive brushless Series Elastic Actuator arm mounted to a Segway platform.

Quantum developed an optical positioning system to guide the actuator arm in "gross motor" movements, using only the closed-loop servo for precisely aligning the heads to a specific track.

With rotating drives, the seek time measures the time it takes the head assembly on the actuator arm to travel to the track of the disk where the data will be read or written.

In an exercise he had practiced nearly fifty times, he retrieved the actuator arm from the bag and connected it to a miniature device he had concealed in his flight cap.

An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating discs (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces.

Though the research direction of these robots is very different from the Domo Project, the design of the eye detection module and the Series Elastic Actuator arm are integrated into Domo's design.

An actuator arm (or access arm) moves the heads on an arc (roughly radially) across the platters as they spin, allowing each head to access almost the entire surface of the platter as it spins.

Speaking of the hard drive, don't walk around with your laptop while the hard drive is active, because its actuator arm, which skitters over the surface reading or saving data, could bump into the drive's fragile and finicky magnetic memory material.

The actuator arm, which holds the disk read head, travels to the track of the disk where the data will be read or written, moving across the disk platter in much the same way as a record player arm moves across a vinyl album.

The hardware on the drive tells the actuator arm where it is to go for the relevant track and the compressed information is then sent down to the head which changes the physical properties, optically or magnetically for example, of each byte on the drive, thus storing the information.

Here, it is the time needed for the data encoded on a platter to rotate from its current position to a position adjacent to the read-write head as well as the seek time required for the actuator arm for the read-write head to be positioned above the appropriate track.
