Differences abound between traditional rack and pinion twin drives, split-pinion-based designs, and roller-pinion systems. Tony Kliber • Lead Project Engineer • Precision Automation Components • Nexen ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

The drive is fully programmable and meets application requirements for precision winding/spooling, pick-and-place machines, X-Y coordinate tool movement, metrology equipment and other machinery ...

Amacoil/Uhing’s model RG80 linear drive supplies as much as 800 lb of side thrust and features rolling ring linear motion engineering enabling mechanical control ...

This video showcases PI Hexapods that provide a unique way of controlling motion with six degrees of freedom. One of the key differentiators to traditional multi-axis positioning systems is the ...

Designed for research labs, photonics, and aerospace applications, these drives make high-performance multi-axis coordination more accessible than ever,without the complexity or cost traditionally ...

Advanced motion control algorithms for precision linear tables and rotary tables achieve ultrafast fast step and settle operations, as well as rapid tracking. In high performance competition cars, ...

Amacoil-Uhing RG3 linear drives now have an extra bearingoption to double the axial thrust capacity of the drive unit withoutsignificantly increasing the length of the drive box. Nine Amacoil-Uhing ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

The NanoPWM switching PWM servo drives provide better performance than linear servo drives, are significantly more compact and robust while lower in cost. “Based on a proprietary and unique technology ...
