Applimotion’s LARC Series linear arc motors are now being used in 360 degree applications. These motors are ideal for rotating large diameter mechanics that do not require fast acceleration or the high torque you would otherwise get from large traditional motor. If you have a set of rotating mechanics that you need to rotate at […]
Linear Motor Stage from Aerotech
The ALS130H, with its sub-nanometer resolution, bi-directional repeatability, and low-velocity performance is the unparalleled solution for high performance test, measurement, inspection, and other demanding applications. The ALS130H employs a center-driven, non-cogging linear motor as the driving element. Since the linear motor is a direct-drive device, there is no backlash, windup, or “stiction” normally associated with […]
BEI launches new high-speed linear encoder line
Goleta, CA – The rugged LN linear encoder provides fast, accurate and repeatable position feedback for a wide range of motion control applications. The LN, an inductive linear encoder, is not subject to the speed limits imposed on its optical counterparts. The encoder’s sealed read head completely surrounds the scale, eliminating the risk of the […]
SICK STEGMANN Goes 3D
DAYTON, OH – SICK STEGMANN, INC. has created a comprehensive and interactive online catalog of 2D and 3D configurable product models using SolidWorks 3D PartStream.NET®. This new functionality allows customers, regardless of their design format, to configure, view and download 2D and 3D CAD drawings directly into their designs to check for fit and function. […]
New Quadrature Encoder Display from BEI
Goleta, CA – This straightforward digital counter accepts quadrature encoder outputs and displays either rotational or linear position on a bright, easy-to-read numeric display. Fully operational right out of the box, the SA100 does not require optional plug-in boards or a complicated configuration process. Simply connect a rotary or linear encoder to the connector on […]
Encoders Ride A Controlled Explosion
In motor racing terms, it doesn’t get much simpler — traverse the straight line from A to B as quickly as possible. Within a split second, the engine of a 360 kg motorcycle screams to 7,500 rpm. Before a spectator has a chance to comprehend what has transpired, the race is over and bike and […]
