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 ...

Engineers and manufacturers are increasingly turning to robots for increased productivity, and key to these engineering marvels are linear guides. Martin Ahner, head of norelem ACADEMY, discusses the ...

This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

Proper bearing selection depends on load analysis, speed requirements, precision needs, and environmental conditions to ensure system reliability and efficiency. Ball bearings offer high precision and ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

A new range of hydrostatic linear guides has been developed that combines excellent damping characteristics with the compact dimensions of a profiled rail linear guide. Following extensive research ...

Leading engineering distributor R. A. Rodriguez (UK) Ltd has expanded its linear technology offering by partnering with Thomson Industries, Inc. (a Regal Rexnord Brand). Thomson specialises in linear ...

The new Allen-Bradley LDAT-SeriesTM Integrated Linear Thruster from Rockwell Automation is the first commercially available moving magnet iron core linear motor actuator with a built-in linear guide ...
