Servo2Go.com has just added new additions to its broad range of cost-effective 24V electric linear actuators from Dyadic Systems. The SCN5 series actuators are compact yet powerful integrated mechatronic cylinders that feature a motor, encoder, drive and actuator in one integral package. Dyadic Systems has developed the linear actuator drive mechanism such that the screw and […]
Direct-drive motor reduces costs for conveyor setups
One new ETM direct-drive motor outputs the speed and torque performance needed for conveyor applications without the need for a gearbox. Using unique next generation motor technology, these motors provide 10 times more continuous torque and at a 5 times wider speed range than conventional AC induction motors. By eliminating the need for a speed […]
Efficiency and reliability with NORD overhead conveyors
All NORD products offer heavy-duty construction and high-quality precision machined components, and NORD’s overhead conveyors are no exception. With 95% efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements, the SK9055 and SK9155 have a very low overall cost of ownership while providing clean and reliable operation in automotive assembly, meat processing and many other plants around the world.

Golf-club washer uses linear-motion actuators to transport wash nozzles
Soon, you could see a new station called a Riveer TourSpin Club Washer cleaning dirty irons and hybrids at a golf course or country club near you — with the help of linear-motion actuators inside. Golf games tend to improve when players use well-maintained equipment. In contrast, dirty equipment can degrade games — not to mention golf courses […]
Direct drive linear motors with integrated encoders offer high resolution
The new, SDLM-025-070-01-01 direct drive linear motor from Moticont, also known as an electric cylinder, has a built-in encoder, zero backlash, zero cogging, and provides users with high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life. This direct drive linear motor features 1.25 µm (0.000049 in.) in of resolution. This compact direct drive linear motor […]
Bimba’s new multi-axis HSXZ and HSXY electric belt-driven actuators
Bimba’s new multi-axis HSXZ and HSXY electric belt-driven actuators offer 2-axis linear motion control using a unique single belt transport system. The single belt system serpentines around both the X and Z (or Y) axis in such a fashion that it eliminates the need for a motor in the Z-axis (or Y) while using two […]

Engineered synchronous sprockets improve drives using curvilinear belts
Belt drives are a mainstay in power-transmission design. In these setups, a reinforced belt wraps around and engages a motor-driven sprocket (or pulley) to transmit translational or rotational motion. Especially in setups where belts and sprockets drive linear axes, repeatability and positioning accuracy are better than ever, thanks to engineered guides and innovations in integration. What’s […]
