A new 5-micron resolution linear actuator, also known as an electric cylinder, has been released by Moticont. This high resolution, high speed, zero cogging, zero backlash linear actuator also features 7.6 lbs (33.9 N) of continuous force and 24.1 lbs (107.2 N) peak force. Providing users with high acceleration, and long life, this compact actuator […]
Renishaw’s new easy-to-install incremental encoder
Renishaw has launched a new encoder family for linear axes, which offers exceptionally wide installation tolerances and axis speeds of up to 24 meters per second. The QUANTiC encoder series produces a digital signal output directly from the readhead and eliminates the requirement for additional bulky external interfaces. This ground-breaking approach was first used for […]
