Precise movements are made with precision slides. Reciprocating linear bearing accuracy, the possible runout in any plane, is typically as low as 0.005 in./in. Because linear bearings are only as ...

When in doubt, make it stout. That was the rule of thumb for designing strong and durable machine tools in the past. Over the years, however, this mindset has changed as technical advances have ...

These U.S.-manufactured passive air bearing slides can be paired with manual adjustment mechanisms or integrated into larger automated positioning systems using linear motors or other actuation ...

TIMEOUT FOR TECH, RAILWAY AGE NOVEMBER 2022 ISSUE: The mass movement of goods and people by rail is the second-most energy efficient mode of transportation—second only to watercraft in navigable ...

The accuracy of motion systems used in precision automation applications is significantly dependent on top-tier positioning stages and motion controllers. When designing a next-generation machine or ...
