AutomationDirect has added second generation (Gen 2) linear motion slide actuators to its SureMotion line of motion control products. The SureMotion lineup includes both motor-ready actuator ...

The MotoDrive PDE actuator and MotoRGS motorized linear slide assembly are suitable for a wide range of motion chores. The MotoDrive PDE Actuator, available in size 17 single or double stack, is an ...

AutomationDirect has added linear slide actuators from igus. These lead screw-driven and belt-driven linear slide actuators can be used as single-axis slides or can provide an economical means of ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide. This model is ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

Engineers at NASA first developed the rolamite bearing as a way to get motion with less friction than possible with roller bearings and to eliminate cogging. It was to replace leadscrews and linear ...

Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...

When encountering complex alignment applications, designers of precision motion systems typically have to endure an unsatisfactory compromise between force, dynamics, and accuracy. A new hybrid ...
