Bearings are often thought of as mechanical rolling or sliding elements, but linear (or rotary) bearings can also use a thin film of pressurized air to support a load. With no mechanical elements to generate friction or heat, air bearings are ideal for applications that require extremely high precision and stiffness. Pressure generation and air delivery […]
Linear Positioning Stages Feature Moving Magnet Voice Coil Technology
Linear Positioning Stages featuring moving magnet voice coil technology from H2W Technologies offer high resolution (from 50 nanometers), zero cogging, high speed, high acceleration (to 5 g’s), high repeatability, and long life. The compact linear positioning stages can be mounted horizontally or vertically and are suitable for short stroke positioning applications requiring high acceleration, high […]
Integrated 3-Axis Micro-manipulator from Steinmeyer
Burlington, MA – Steinmeyer, Inc. introduces the MP63 3-axis micro-manipulator module. The MP63 is a fully enclosed 3-axis positioner with 25mm stroke in each direction. Included inside the compact precision assembly are DC gearmotors, rotary encoders, lead screws, and non-contact limit switches. Accuracy in each direction is 5 microns with ± 1 micron repeatability and […]
MMG Mini-Mag Precision Linear Motor Stages
SALEM, NH – Dover introduces the MMG Mini-Mag line of precision linear motor stages. Mini-Mag Stages deliver nearly twice the accuracy at virtually the same cost as competitive standard-grade options. Lead times of two weeks or less facilitate reduced-time-to-market with a higher performing machine for OEMs, or provide greater machine uptime for end users in […]
