Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.

Ball splines and bearings: each play a role in mechanical function, and each are unique. All types of machinery are provided with supports for rotating shafts, and that supporting device is a ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

There are a number of linear motion technologies availableto machine and device designers, each with advantages and disadvantages.Medical device design in particular, in which applications typically ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Linear bearings are distinguished from radial bearings by their sliding rather than rotary motion. Linear bearings are used in machine tool applications such as sliding doors, 3D printers, and ...

Beamline diagnostics are an essential part of any particle accelerator, used to measure and monitor the properties of the particle beam itself. Within these diagnostic systems, precise linear motion ...
