Shafts that are out of round (circumferential variation) by even 0.0001 in. create preloading on some of the ball tracks causing uneven wear and shortening bearing life by as much as 50%. Figure 2 ...

One type, linear shaft motors, consists of stationary, cylindrically wound coils and a smooth, nonferrous moving rod; inside the latter is a series of rare earth-iron-boron (NIB) permanent magnets ...

Regal Rexnord Corporation has joined forces with automation leader ABB Robotics to simplify integration of its GoFa™ cobots ...

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.

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… ...
