Anti-friction miniature linear guides from PM B.V. now come with a variety of cage options
When building miniature linear-motion systems, design engineers can choose between ball and crossed-roller linear guides. When applied to precision systems, most all of these linear guides have cages to prevent shifting of the anti-friction rolling elements during operation … especially when these linear guides are applied in exacting microscopy, manipulator, and image-scanner applications — for […]
PM develops ultra-low-profile rotary table bearings
Lower costs by using the rotary table bearing FMB. The compact designed FMB table bearing has been developed for high precision rotary motion. It reduces the cost compared to other rotary bearings since fewer components with less tolerance are used necessary for installation offering easy installation of the bearings and reducing the overall costs. The […]
New multi-axis stages: Driving dynamics in one plane for top performance
Having all of a stage’s driving dynamics in one plane can prevent problematic reaction torques on sensitive workpieces … and maximize machine performance for demanding motion applications. By Mathys te Wierik • Lead system engineer Jan Willem Ridderinkhof • Manager of R&D and engineering | PM B.V. High-end mechatronic motion solutions have proliferated as various […]
Industry’s smallest slide with anti-cage creep technology
PM introduces the next generation of miniature slides: the MSR. This product has been developed according to the rising demand for smaller, compact linear slides for use in dynamic and accurate applications. The miniature slides are developed for increased output in micro-assembly machines and pick-and-place machines. The MSR miniature slide can also be used in […]
