Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.

Roller-pinion systems are a better option than rack and pinions where accuracy and a minimum of friction are important. • Roller pinions can provide accurate positioning up to ±30 µm (±0.00118 in.) • ...

A common approach to measuring distance or angle in a rotating system is by using an incremental encoder or resolver. The majority of industrial applications, such as machines or drives, are dominated ...

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.

This tactile testing demo shows a combination of XYZ Linear Translation Stages, high performance motion controllers, 6-DOF Hexapod and a force sensing voice coil ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...
