Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

A wide variety of industries operate factories with large-format manufacturing lines, creating a need for long-travel motion axes and transfer robots. Some of these gantry and Cartesian robots can ...

These direct-drive Linear translation stages use linear motors and are designed with high load, high speed industrial precision automation in mind. The V-817 motorized translation stage family is ...

The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5300 servo drive by Rockwell Automation is built for diverse machine applications to increase machine builder performance and leverage a single-design environment for control ...

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.

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 ...

For manufacturers dealing with high precision, granite-based, multi-axis motion systems, two primary choices exist. One option involves designing a motion system where the granite base becomes an ...
