Have you ever opened a drawer in your desk? Or moved a sliding door? What about operating a conveyor belt in an automation line? With any of these activities, chances are you have used a linear guide ...

Unlike conventional ball or roller-based linear guides, hydrostatic guidance systems eliminate all metal-to-metal contact. The guide carriages move on a thin cushion of high-pressure fluid, which ...

One of the most common motion applications in automated machinery is linear motion due to its precision capabilities. Guide wheels are often critical to the dependability of such systems, especially ...

Electric linear actuator is a compact device that converts electrical energy into straight-line motion by using a motor.

Design engineers that want to ensure their high-precision linear motion systems are made to last can get a video lesson from Thomson Industries. The company, which supplies mechanical motion solutions ...

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 ...

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 ...
