TOPBALL® , NB’s Self-aligning Linear Ball Bushing’s have precision tolerances because they’re ground - not stamped. Compact with high load capacites, they’re ideal for new designs and interchangeable for retrofitting. TOPBALL® TW line has 3X the load capacity and 27X more travel life than conventional bushings. TOPBALL® Ultimate has almost 60X more tra... Read more...

While there are volumes of information online about the duty cycle, it’s really a relatively simple concept. Duty cycle is simply the ratio of time a circuit is on compared to the time that the circuit is off. Our products, as with most electronic devices, have a maximum recommended duty cycle. Choosing an actuator (or any motor) that has a duty cycle appropriate for your ap... Read more...
