2015 linear-motion trends: What to know about pre-engineered setups

★ By Lisa Eitel 1 Comment

1-Rollon-palletizing-linear-motion

Technology improvements continue to elevate the performance of linear-motion setups. When we asked industry experts about this trend, all identified the same driving markets—packaging and medical—but different technologies to satisfy new design challenges. Case in point: Jeremy Miller, product manager for linear mechanics at the Electromechanical Div. of Parker Hannifin, said tubular linear motors lead innovation. […]

New Timing Belt Drive Resists Sag over Long Travel

★ By admin Leave a Comment

Aston, PA – The new model AZ1040 drive is the most recent extension to the Amacoil-Uhing line of timing belt drives used for smooth linear motion in positioning and indexing applications. The drive features a one-piece aluminum profile extrusion which serves as the belt housing. T-slots and receiver grooves for the load carriage guide bars […]
