Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...

A portable milling machine with a split-rail system that allows configurations for both linear milling and gantry milling was introduced this week by Climax Portable Machine Tools. It has a rigid, ...

The integration of rotary and linear motions within a single actuation system has emerged as a transformative development in modern electromechanical engineering. Rotary-linear actuators combine the ...

Design engineers adding a linear-motion system to production machines having a rotary-drive motor, such as a conveyor, no longer need to worry about an expensive redesign. A linear-drive system can be ...
