A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

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 ...

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 ...

The MLA (motorized linear actuator) and MEA (motorized electric actuator) series represent a new generation of compact linear motion solutions. Each actuator combines a high-performance stepper or ...

Ball splines and bearings: each play a role in mechanical function, and each are unique. All types of machinery are provided with supports for rotating shafts, and that supporting device is a ...

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.
