Replacing a pneumatic actuator with an intelligent lead-screw system let a company that makes shrink-bundling machinery avoid difficulties when changing product lines.
Conventional fluid-power laws often cannot adequately model hydraulic systems. They need a method that simultaneously solves for all parameters in the system.
Methods for sizing motors, selecting drives and controllers, and using design rules for reducing cogging torque, help motion control engineers build more accurate, efficient, and reliable systems.
I remember driving my parents '73 Caddy in the snow and having a pretty good time fishtailing around corners and doing donuts in empty parking lots. Needless to say my parents weren't with me. A weeklong test drive of...
Air bearings for linear applications, segmented bearings that can be installed into hard-to-reach places, and thermoplastic bearings molded with integral pulleys or gear teeth are just a few of the recent developments...
Traditional profile monorails deliver the highest accuracy for linear motion. This comes from an expensive grinding process. Accuracy is presented in terms of grinding tolerances on the rail and divides into accuracy...
