There are three types of Linear Actuators used in manufacturing: Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Electro-Mechanical. Hydraulic actuators are primarily used for moving very heavy loads, in the same way, that large construction equipment often operates [...]
When selecting a linear guide system, a number of different factors must be considered. First and foremost, the approximate size and load of the system must be determined. Miniature sized profile guides aren’t capable of [...]
A bearing or bushing can be used for linear or rotational motion. While most bearings and bushings are designed for only one type of motion, there are some parts that can combine both. NB stroke [...]
A bushing is a round shaped cylindrical component. It is either equipped with rolling elements (ball, roller) or not and mainly used as a support component in an assembly to reduce machine wear out and [...]
A roller bearing is a cylindrical unit that is used to provide low-friction movement for a bushing or bearing block. A ball bearing is a spherical unit that accomplishes the same objective as a roller [...]
