BRECOflex CO. is launching a new timing belt. It’s the company’s most innovative timing belt to hit the market since its move-series in 2014. It’s called BRECOroll. Typically, toothed timing belts used for material handling tasks are very long. The belt’s load side usually lies in a support rail which causes friction. BRECOroll provides the […]
PM develops ultra-low-profile rotary table bearings
Lower costs by using the rotary table bearing FMB. The compact designed FMB table bearing has been developed for high precision rotary motion. It reduces the cost compared to other rotary bearings since fewer components with less tolerance are used necessary for installation offering easy installation of the bearings and reducing the overall costs. The […]
Linear, xy, rotary combination stages
The BSMA-140H is a compact linear positioning stage that is suitable for the confines of the laboratory while providing the high reliability required in a production environment. It is a suitable choice for measurement, testing, accurate alignment and component assembly. The precision ball-screw provides accuracy, repeatability and positioning resolution capability to 1 micron. The linear […]
Compact actuators help save some dough
Edited by Mike Santora In machines for industrially manufactured bakery products, product changes must be flexible, precise and repeatable. This requires precision with numerous set-up and adjustment options. Siko integrated fieldbus positioning drives into the new “Soft Star CTi” dough dividing and molding machine, which combines the motor, transmission, absolute measuring system, control and power […]
New electric cylinder for the food industry
PHD is has released the PHD Plus Series ECP Electric IP69K Cylinder. Series ECP Electric IP69K Cylinders are designed for food processing and packaging equipment used in high pressure/high temperature washdown and clean-in-place (CIP) environments. These performance electric cylinders are available in either ball screw or lead screw (polymer nut) versions, providing a wide range […]
Anti-backlash nuts for lead screws
Helix Linear Technologies has announced that they are expanding their lead screw nut offering by developing a new bronze anti-backlash nut for high load applications. The new nut design will integrate to the full lineup of Helix lead screw sizes ranging from 2 to 50mm diameters. This new nut design helps design engineers looking for […]
PHD releases two new linear slides
Built on the foundation of long-life products for industrial automation, PHD Optimax actuators are designed to meet machine builders’ performance requirements. These economical, efficient, and reliable actuators provide an alternative choice to PHD’s standard “built-to-order” product line, delivering even more cost-effective solutions to meet industrial application needs. In a continuing effort to expand the Optimax […]
Self-lubricating plastic bearing for continuous high rotational speeds
With the new iglide L500 material, igus has announced the release of their newest specialist bearing. Suitable for continuous operation in high-speed rotation applications under low loads. The L500 material combines wear resistance in long-running, high speed applications. Continuous rotational speeds of more than 16 ft/s are possible, and the L500 material performs even under […]
Caged ball profile rails for linear guidance
Nook Industries introduces a caged ball profile rail for linear guidance. Caged ball chains provide reduced friction, lower noise levels and prevent the bearings from making incidental contact. Nook’s new line improves on more traditional designs with lubrication advantages, a reinforcement plate and an overall dustproof design. The lubrication design adds no additional length to the […]
World’s lightest linear guide
Very lightweight, high stiffness and non-magnetic–these are the main advantages of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) over metal. For applications where these requirements are essential, such as aerospace or medical technology, igus now makes the lightest linear guide in its magnitude made of carbon which is available for up to 2000 mm stroke. Here, […]
