The things often prioritized in the list of requirements of design engineers from the precision automation sector are different from those of their colleagues in the instrumentation industry. Dynamic ...

Basic motion designs compete with those produced in emerging markets, but automation reigns where value trumps cost. Key to extracting superior production from such sophisticated machinery is the ...

It does not matter if this motor is used under the strictest hygienic requirements in the food sector, in industrial production, or in the harsh environment of agricultural technology - the SL 38 STL ...

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control, nanopositioning and piezo technology solutions, announces the release of the V-141 linear motor stage family, the most compact and ...

Compact linear translation stage family combines speed, precision, versatility, new from PI. With a footprint of just 80x80mm for the 40mm version, the V-141 is ideal for compact integration in OEM ...

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 ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. https://www.pi-usa ...

A motor turns, and through a series of belts, gears, couplings and ball screws, rotary motion changes to linear. For decades, designers have been configuring such mechanisms, essentially starting from ...

HOZO has announced the upcoming Kickstarter launch of NeoSander, a next-generation palm-sized detail sanding tool engineered for evolved makers who demand precision, control, and versatility in ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

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 ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...
