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 ...

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

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 ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.
