Moog has launched its “Roller Screw Fast-Delivery Program” to ship industrial customers the most requested roller screws, diameters from 15 to 39 mm (0.59 to 1.53 in.) within six weeks of receiving an order. “The major challenge customers currently face is the uncertainty of their supply chain,” said Roberto Donghi, site manager for Moog’s Bergamo, […]
Ewellix launches e-MOVEKIT to reduce design, validation time for mobile machinery
The new e-MOVEKIT from Ewellix is aimed at helping designers and manufacturers of mobile machinery simplify the specification, assembly, and testing of electric linear actuation systems. The e-MOVEKIT has been developed in response to the growing trend towards electrification of motion systems in mobile and off-highway equipment. In particular, the demand to replace traditional hydraulic […]
Linear bearing from Rollon handles light-to-moderate loads in linear motion applications
Rollon has introduced its lightweight MiniRoller Rail linear bearing. Ideal for applications that require moderate loads, it features smooth and silent operation and an adaptive design that is easy to customize and integrate into assemblies. MiniRoller Rail eliminates the noise, difficult assembly, misalignment and unnecessary weight typically associated with using linear guides with recirculating ball […]
Linear voice coil servo motor features high force, 2.25 in. length at mid-stroke
Moticont has added a high-force linear dc servo motor to their expanding line of voice coil or moving coil motors. The LVCM-095-038-01 linear voice coil motor is a true servo motor featuring zero cogging, high accuracy, and high repeatability when operated in a closed positioning loop. Clean non-commutated, zero cogging, zero backlash voice coil motors […]

FAULHABER’s new L linear actuator product family offers a turn-key-solution for a broad range of applications. The L linear actuator family is designed for high performances in compact dimensions, and supports large input speed or high output force. It’s well-suited for a wide range of applications like robotics, industrial machines and laboratory equipment. A large […]
A straight line to effective linear motion
Servo- and stepper-driven electrical linear actuators are an efficient and economical way to provide accurate motion control for a wide variety of machine applications. Chip McDaniel AutomationDirect When it comes to automated machinery, there’s no doubt that observing a high-speed robotic arm zoom through intricate movements can be impressive. But although the price and complexity […]
Compact linear motion system brings modularity to small-space applications
Thomson Industries, Inc. has introduced a family of compact linear systems that makes it easier for motion designers to implement complex applications in small spaces. Designers needing thrust and bearing support in a single, compact unit now have the flexibility to build such applications with versatile, time-tested components from Thomson. “As demand for smaller-scale applications […]
Haydon Kerk Express online tool speeds up linear actuator selection
Haydon Kerk Pittman, a business unit of AMETEK’s Advanced Motion Solutions division, has debuted its new Haydon Kerk Express online linear actuator calculator. The Haydon Kerk Express tool joins the Pittman Express tool, released last year, and allows users to now identify and select the right linear actuator for their applications quickly and easily. When […]
The top linear motion posts of 2022
As the year comes to a close, the editors here at linearmotiontips.com (as, apparently, editors everywhere are prone to do) like to look back over the past year to see what our readers clicked on and read the most. As in years past, readers found our “back to basics” articles quite useful and so it’s […]
Linear motors find a home in CNC machines
For one manufacturer of CNC grinding machines, new high-performance linear motors replaced ball-screws and improved machine performance. It’s no secret that linear motors are highly effective motion devices. Linear motors can achieve high acceleration rates and long travel lengths with good thrust forces and extremely high positioning accuracies, while other drive mechanisms, such as belts, […]
