There are many industrial applications requiring linear motion, and for most applications, conventional belt or screw drives do just fine. But when loads need to move long distances (more than 40 ft), ...

The AGK ball-screw drive from Bosch Rexroth Corp., Charlotte, N.C., combines a rigid aluminum housing, screw supports, bearings that reduce screw whip, and a high-performance ball screw to provide up ...

Ball screw drive systems are pivotal in modern machine tools, providing the precise conversion of rotary motion into linear movement. Their high stiffness and efficiency render them essential in ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

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 ...

The Small Modules Screw Driven (SMS) line of linear axes from Bosch Rexroth range features more compact sizing and ball screw assembly. They are designed for simple positioning and feeding tasks and ...

A rugged, hard-cover design makes the ATS165 linear stage well-suited for applications requiring debris protection and medium-travel, mid-tier positioning performance. The robust aluminum cover is ...
