Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.

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 ...

Linear guides are the foundational component in engineering motion control. John Lorello, NSK Linear/Mechatronics Specialist, has been designing motion solutions for years. He gives an in-depth ...

Using Beckhoff’s TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software, AL8000 linear motors can increase machine synchronization and decrease lag rate without hardware changes. With TwinCAT Cogging Compensation, ...

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...
