While we normally don’t make it a habit to feature Kickstarter projects, we couldn’t pass this one up. [Barton Dring] from BuildLog.net is putting together a project called MakerSlide that we’re sure ...
The amount of preload applied can be used to adjust the stiffness (and friction) of the bearing by changing the ball size to as small as 1 µm. Each application is a little bit different. For every ...
Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...
Linear bearings are distinguished from radial bearings by their sliding rather than rotary motion. Linear bearings are used in machine tool applications such as sliding doors, 3D printers, and ...
ROLLON is a leading manufacturer of linear motion systems, guides and linear actuators. Our motion control products and systems are designed to meet the requirements of machine design engineers for ...
Schaeffler integrates sensors and vibration analysis into its linear guidance systems and offers these mechatronic components with automated relubrication. The function was integrated into linear ...
• Direct-drive brushless linear servo motors with alternative feedback technologies and both linear motion guide or air bearing technologies provide the basis for wide choice of solutions for long ...
Adjustable clearance, lubrication-free and resistance to contamination are today’s current trends in linear technology. Keeping in line with these, the plain bearing expert igus® have developed a new ...
Once viewed as "guideways for the rich and famous," air bearings use in the last two years has been driven by explosive growth in two application areas: flat panel displays and hard disk drives. But ...
Rotary Air Bearings provide High Precision Motion with Minimal Eccentricity and Wobble. The rotary air bearing on the left is non motorized – its low friction is apparent from the long time it keeps ...
The accuracy of motion systems used in precision automation applications is significantly dependent on top-tier positioning stages and motion controllers. When designing a next-generation machine or ...
