The ASRT is an IP66-rated, direct-drive, sealed rotary stage that provides precise angular positioning in hostile environments where dirt, dust, cutting fluids and fluid jets are present. Applications range from industrial machining automation to precision sensor positioning in hostile environments, and the ASRT is also an effective solution for precise rotary motion in product environmental […]
Sliding Slewing Ring Bearings Used in Welding Machine
A developer and manufacturer of custom-made equipment for the steel fabrication industry uses sliding slewing ring bearings from igus® for rotary motion on an ultrasonic welding machine. iglide® PRT slewing ring bearings facilitate movement on both the X and Y axis of the machine, which enables the welding gun to achieve numerous degrees of freedom. […]

FASTRACK Linear Encoder System from Renishaw
Renishaw’s new FASTRACK linear encoder scale system brings high accuracy, stainless steel construction and quick, easy installation to large, sectional machines used in flat-panel display and photovoltaic manufacturing applications, as well as large CMMs that require removal of the scale for transit. Also ideal for linear motors with aluminum substrates, and applications where thermal expansion […]
Rethinking the Micro Linear Motor
Up until now, linear motors have been designed primarily as flat stage motors complete with cradle and guide – a format that is not necessarily suitable for every application. But a new rotationally symmetrical rotor design together with a rectangular, flange-mountable stator, enables an almost universally applicable fit. The LM 1247 motor from MicroMo is […]
