Rails, screw assemblies boast 20,000 km travel without relubrication

February 12, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

ball rails ball screws

The BSHP ball rail systems and BASA ball screw assemblies from Bosch Rexroth now achieve lubrication intervals that are up to four times longer. In more and more applications, they can even be used maintenance-free over the entire service life of a component. As a result, low-maintenance or maintenance-free linear motion technology minimizes operating costs […]

Motion Trends: Ball screws pack more load capacity

March 22, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

ball screws

Continued developments in manufacturing and materials have improved ball screw performance, with the most recent generation of ball screws having greater load densities than ever before, leading to higher load capacities. High-load ball screws are being integrated into electromechanical linear actuator systems for use in applications with higher loads and more demanding environmental conditions. In […]

Motion system applications: Better ballscrews, more applications

January 31, 2017 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

ballscrews

Ballscrews suit applications needing light, smooth motion, applications requiring precise positioning, and when heavy loads must be moved. Examples include machine tools, assembly devices, X-Y motion and robotics. Factors such as lead accuracy, axial play and preload, and life-to-load relationship are most commonly used to classify ballscrews. Lead accuracy is the degree to which the shaft’s […]

The good old days…they were terrible!

November 22, 2016 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

That was the mantra of my Technology and Society professor in college. And in many cases, I have to agree with him. While we like to romanticize the “good old days,” when things were simpler and more straightforward, how many of us would really want to go back and work in the era of slide rules […]

Profiled rail + rack & pinion = integrated solution

July 6, 2016 By Danielle Collins 1 Comment

Profiled Rail Rack & Pinion

Profiled linear guides are typically used in conjunction with a drive system, such as a belt or ball screw, to provide rigid, accurate motion. When the specification calls for extremely long travel and high thrust force, the drive mechanism of choice is commonly a rack & pinion system. Fortunately for design engineers and machine builders, several […]

IMS-A integrated linear measuring system from Rexroth: Absolute, inductive and precise

May 20, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Whether in machining operations, 3D printing or electronic handling, ever-greater accuracy and availability are essential. The new Rexroth IMS-A linear measuring system — integrated in linear guides — is helping do just that. It detects the absolute position of the axis to ±4 micrometers (µm). What’s more, the measuring system is immune to contamination, vibrations, shocks […]
