A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

A wide variety of industries operate factories with large-format manufacturing lines, creating a need for long-travel motion axes and transfer robots. Some of these gantry and Cartesian robots can ...

Linear motion positioning stages are found in many applications from material handling and assembly to inspection and testing and employ many different technologies. Just looking at the different ...

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.

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...
