Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

A novel direct-drive linear servomotor with only one moving part needs special design considerations. There’s a growing demand for smaller linear motors. Manufacturers have developed new direct- drive ...

These direct-drive Linear translation stages use linear motors and are designed with high load, high speed industrial precision automation in mind. The V-817 motorized translation stage family is ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
