  • How VFDs Save Energy
    Variable frequency drives (VFD) are becoming more common place and more widely used in applications. They are capable of varying the output speed of a motor without the need for mechanical pulleys, thus reducing the number of mechanical components and overall maintenance. But the biggest advantage
  • Hybrid Linear Actuators: Technical Overview
    Converting the rotary motion of a stepping motor into linear motion can be accomplished by several mechanical means, including rack and pinion, belts and pulleys and other mechanical linkages. All of these designs require various mechanical components. The most effective way to accomplish
  • A Finer Control of Linear Motion
    Linear actuators essentially generate force and motion through a straight line. In a typical mechanical system, a device's output shaft would provide linear motion using a rotary motor through gears, a belt and pulley, or other mechanical components. Trouble is, these components must be coupled
  • Shaft Loading and Sealing vs. Bearing Life Expectancy
    The mechanical life of an encoder is mainly determined. by the life of the unit's bearings. Several factors. affect bearing life, including shaft loading, heat,. ingress and rotational speed. Shaft loading is likely the. top cause of premature. bearing failure. There are. two types of loading
