Telescopic sliding systems are one of those quietly brilliant engineering solutions that often go unnoticed and unappreciated ...

They guide, support, locate, and accurately move machinery components in automated industries. Each rolling element slide has its own advantages and drawbacks Ed Keane, Del-Tron Precision Inc., Bethel ...

We don’t know much more than what we see with [Kounotori_DIY]’s battery loader design (video embedded below) but it just looks so cool we had to share. Watch it in action, it’ll explain itself. Before ...

The linear slide single edge guide system is effective in applications where two rails are required to run in parallel and can be run over large distances.

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

Key points: • Consider supports, guides, drives, and seals when designing a linear system. Know your precision, repeatability, loading, and environmental requirements before starting linear-system ...

New acoustic sensors from THK GmbH, Ratingen, Germany, promise to diagnose damage to linear guides and ballscrews without having to dismantle machine tools. In addition, the Acoustic Emission (AE) ...

Engineers and manufacturers are increasingly turning to robots for increased productivity, and key to these engineering marvels are linear guides. Martin Ahner, head of norelem ACADEMY, discusses the ...
