It’s the end of another calendar year here at linearmotiontips.com and what better time than now to do a bit of reflection. It’s an opportunity to do a reckoning of sorts and find out what you, our readers, liked most. So here is a short list of the top 5 most viewed posts published in […]
Low-profile XY open-aperture stage features 1 micron resolution, 2 micron repeatability
OES (Optimal-Engineering Systems, Inc.) has added a new, high-precision open aperture stage to its expanding line of precision XY stages. The AU200-100×100 stage is a low profile stage measuring just 80 mm (3.150 in.) high with a compact footprint (including the motors) of 348 mm x 348 mm (13.701 in. x 13.701 in.) The linear […]
Motorized linear X-axis plus rotary positioning stages from OES
Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) has released a new series of high precision X-axis stages with integral rotary positioning stages. The four X-and-theta stages in this series feature linear travels of: 15 mm (0.591 in.), 30 mm (1.181 in.), 50 mm (1.968 in.) and 75 mm (2.953 in.). The rotary table is capable of continuous […]
ANCA Motion expands high-performance tubular linear motor line
The LinX M-series linear motor features an integrated position sensor with 10 um of resolution, eliminating the need for an external encoder, simplifying system design and reducing overall cost. Modular design of the heatsink and end-caps enables flexibility in system integration. The motor produces a continuous force range of 90 to 160 N and a […]
Belt-driven electric actuators from IMI Norgren offer precise control
A new line of belt-driven electric actuators from IMI Norgren is designed to meet the force and extreme loading requirements for machine builders and plant engineers looking for an alternative to pneumatic actuators. NB27 single rail belt-driven linear actuator features a unique arc belt technology that improves traction for higher thrust. These single rail actuators […]
What are roller chain wear indicators?
Rollers chains, as a mechanical power transmission method, and like any mechanical system, are subject to wear over time and with continued use. Just how much it wears depends on a number of factors including whether or not the chain is properly lubricated and the amount of loading, among other things. So how does one […]
What are some options for quieter chain operation?
Chain and sprocket drives are a traditional power transmission/motion technique. In general such drives tend to perform admirably well in harsh environments and feature high wear resistance and fatigue strength. Among one of the persistent down sides is the noise generated by chain and sprocket systems. There are a few common causes of noise in […]
160-page catalog on piezo motor solutions from PI
PI’s new comprehensive piezo motor solutions catalog covers a large number of linear, rotary, and multi-axis motion systems based on a variety of piezo motor types along with their appropriate controllers and drivers. Piezo motors have excellent dynamic properties, such as high acceleration and fast start/stop behavior, along with nanometer precision and stability. In contrast […]
Large area travel X-Y stages from IntelLiDrives
Large area travel X-Y stages from IntelLiDrives offer precise fine positioning and control achieved through the combination of a stable closed-loop control system and an associated joystick option. In addition, the stages can be combined with the company’s Z stages to form an XYZ stage ideally suited for laser scanning microscopy. The travel range is […]
