Amacoil/Uhing Improves RS Linear Drives

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Amacoil/Uhing model RS linear drives are now available with five linear pitch settings and adjustable axial thrust. This permits varying pitch/thrust combinations until optimum settings are achieved. Optimizing pitch and thrust settings results in very smooth linear movement making the drives ideal for metrology applications and other linear motion processes requiring backlash-free, smooth movement. Turning […]

New Thomson Selection Guide Now Available

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Metric Super Ball Bushing bearings are precision bearings with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.001 that allows users to employ smaller and less expensive motors, belts, gears and ball screws when replacing high friction, plain bearings. Stainless Steel MultiTrac Ball Bushing bearings are built to thrive in harsh environments with temperatures up to […]
