NEMA 23 frame size added to ElectroCraft stepper linear actuator line
ElectroCraft, Inc. has added a new NEMA 23 frame size to its AxialPower Enhanced Series Stepper Linear Actuator product line. ElectroCraft enhanced series linear actuators have been available in a NEMA11 frame size for several years but are now being offered in both NEMA17 and NEMA23 frames for greatly enhanced performance capabilities. In addition to […]
Low-cost linear actuators feature zero cogging, high throughput
Moticont has added their highest force linear actuator to their DDLM Linear Actuator Series. The DDLM-038-051-01 Linear Actuator is a low-cost, non-commutated linear actuator that easily integrates into new and existing applications, and is the ideal choice when upgrading from a pneumatic system. Compact, clean, and quiet, this fully enclosed linear actuator, also referred to […]
New sense-and-control actuator model added to Curtiss-Wright Smart Actuator series
Curtiss-Wright’s Actuation Division announced the release of its newest motor/actuators with integral controls, the Exlar SA-R080 rotary and SA-L080 linear actuator. The SA-080 is the first frame size (80 mm) in the harsh environment control and sense family of industrial electromechanical actuators from Curtiss-Wright. The SA series actuators offer force, precision, energy efficiency, and control […]
Application-based tool from Thomson optimizes online ball-screw sizing and selection
Thomson Industries, Inc. has launched an online ball screw sizing and selection tool to give motion designers fast, intuitive and precisely calculated ball screw solutions for their linear motion designs. The Linear Motioneering tool not only simplifies and streamlines the sizing and selection process, it also provides the designer more direct, self-serve access to decades […]
Rollon acquires iMS, expanding lineup of linear actuator modules, robotic transfer units for heavy payloads
Rollon, a leading manufacturer of linear motion guides, actuators and systems, has acquired Intelligent Machine Solutions, Inc. (iMS), a Michigan-based designer and manufacturer of standard and custom machinery for the automation industry. With this acquisition, Rollon is expanding its lineup of linear actuator modules and robotic transport units (RTUs), allowing for static loads of over […]
Magnetostrictive linear position transducers from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an electrical signal. However, they are contactless, which provides a longer life because there is no mechanical wear. Because they use magnetostrictive technology, they’re also immune to electromagnetic interferences. […]
Four-axis linear motor driven stage features high speed, micron resolution
The Four-Axis Gantry (YY’ZZ’) from H2W Technologies is a four-axis positioning stage that consists of two SRS-007-03-006-01 brushless linear motor stages; each vertically mounted to two independently moving horizontal linear axis. It’s ideal for applications that require multiple independent motions on a single travel plane. When an application requires fast motion with a stroke over […]
