Recap of top linear-motion technologies at MD&M West

★ By Lisa Eitel 2 Comments

Linear motion for ruggedized designs

On my very last visit at MD&M West 2016, I visited the Osborn booth. Steve Economos and and Dale Delay showed me Osborn Load Runners products …

MDM-West-Osborn

Load Runners are essentially assemblies including treads and bearings on precision shafts to run along rails for linear-motion applications needing robust setups. We hope to hear more from this manufacturer in 2016 about key new applications.

MD&M West 2016 conclusion: Industry is thriving

All in all, MD&M West 2016 was a huge success. We heard from about half of the manufacturers we visited that foot traffic was quite good, and new innovations continue to spur new motion designs.
