Sommario/riassunto

This book 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 that should be considered when moving a payload at precision levels and/or speeds that are not as important in low-performance applications.
