Linear Ball-Screw Stage
The ATS115 linear ball-screw stage has side seals to keep dirt and particulates out of the stage. This protects bearing surfaces from contamination, which significantly increases stage and bearing life. The seals are also vertically oriented, deflecting debris away from the stage. What’s more, the robust aluminum hard cover is hard coated for scratch resistance. […]
Roller Screws for Linear Actuation
Roller screws for linear actuation can sustain static loads to 1,000 tons and dynamic loads to 200 tons, depending on type. The screws incorporate fine-lead threads, as small as 1 mm. Their robust nut can withstand shock loads; their timing mechanism is reliable at high acceleration; and a long lead and symmetrical nut design permits […]
