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 ...

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 ...

The Precision Motion Drive System from Amacoil consists of a Model RG rolling ring linear drive integrated with a motion controller. The drive is fully programmable and meets application requirements ...

Each Kollmorgen Essentials motion system combines a servo drive, a servo motor, and a combined power/data cable.

So, what is a planetary roller screw? Simply put, it is a precision transmission component that converts rotational motion into linear drive by utilizing the threaded characteristics, driven by a ...

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...

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 ...

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 ...

Industrial solutions provider BMG has expanded its portfolio of motion control technologies with the introduction of Rollon linear guidance systems, designed for high efficiency in many industries, ...

The working principle of the planetary roller screw is relatively simple yet extremely efficient: a motor drives the screw shaft to rotate, and through the rolling of multiple rollers between the ...

Gears have powered the world for millennia, from clock machines to car engines. But miniaturizing them to microscopic ...
