They carry loads at speeds up to 70 inches per second and are designed for horizontal or vertical applications. Ideal for positioning operations in all types of machinery, Roh'lix is often a less ...

Until a few years ago, designers looking to power a linear-motion-control application faced three imperfect options: traditional electric motors or hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. Hydraulic ...

A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion (movement that goes round in a circle) into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines, printing ...

Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...

Planetary roller screw mechanisms (PRSMs) are advanced mechanical devices that convert rotational motion into precise linear displacement. Their design capitalises on an array of rolling elements ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces its first automotive-compliant* 3D linear Hall effect sensor. The AH4930Q detects the magnetic field in the X, Y, ...

Axis errors rob machine tools of the necessary accuracy for the jobs to be run. Luckily, though, two common position-measuring systems prevent this from happening. However, deciding which one should ...
