Air-powered motion systems combine economy, speed, and cleanliness. Linear-motion devices abound in automated assembly equipment such as robots, conveyors, and pick-and-place systems. Applications ...

Steel ball bearings are quite common, but plastic linear bearings and guides are increasingly tough — so their use is on the rise. Instead of riding on rolling balls, plastic linear bearings ride on ...

Planetary roller screw mechanisms (PRSMs) are advanced mechanical devices that convert rotational motion into precise linear displacement. Their design capitalises on an array of rolling elements ...
