Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...

Electronic preloading of rack-and-pinion drives yields backlash-free motion with minimal friction, improving precision and efficiency. • Rack-and-pinion actuators can have accelerations and speeds ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

There are many industrial applications requiring linear motion, and for most applications, conventional belt or screw drives do just fine. But when loads need to move long distances (more than 40 ft), ...

A rugged, hard-cover design makes the ATS165 linear stage well-suited for applications requiring debris protection and medium-travel, mid-tier positioning performance. The robust aluminum cover is ...

These new ESU Electric Ball Screw Linear Actuators from PHD features a robust, enclosed design with a high capacity rail bearing system delivering high moment and load capability. The new design ...

Suggested applications include optics positioning, z-axis positioning of sensors in surface metrology, and general purpose high-precision alignment. The precision ground, preloaded ball-screw coupled ...
