A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

In the pursuit of achieving modern automation, the focus is often on software, sensors and smart controls. However, the true ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

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.

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 ...
