Linear Bearing Speed and Acceleration: Which Spec Matters Most In Automated Systems?
It may always be tempting to look at a linear bearings’ maximum speed to see if it will do the trick in a fast motion system. But focusing solely on speed without regard for the underlying mechanics of the linear bearing system will only slow you down.
Managing Misalignment in Linear Motion Systems: How Much Tolerance Do You Really Need?
When design engineers evaluate linear bearings for their automated, assembly-oriented machines with medium- precision positioning accuracy requirements, they always ask about performance attributes such as speed, load capacity and lifecycle. Then, they want to know the price. It’s rare, however, that they ask about the bearing’s sensitivity to misalignment. And that’s a big mistake, because misalignment represents one of the leading causes of premature linear bearing wear and failure.
Crash Resistance Strategies for Linear Motion Systems
In medium-precision applications, the right precision bearing can solve the greatest threats to a linear motion system’s lifetime.
Fabric Cutting Machine Takes to the Field With Portable Speedy Rail
When choosing a linear actuator, portability is often overlooked. And if you intend to use the actuator in multiple locations, you can’t wait for the actuator vendor to provide field support each time the unit moves. A project’s time and productivity can depend on how much effort is needed to transport and install the actuator. This was the situation facing a large aerospace and defense technology contractor when it called Rollon.
Telescopic Rail Helps Punch Press Machine Position Heavy Punches
When it comes to manufacturing RV doors, hydraulic presses are used to punch various-sized holes into steel depending on the door size and hole requirements. Because of the forces and sizes of hydraulic punch presses, the product is usually brought to the press. This would normally require multiple stations and a lot of labor to move the doors through different stations.
