  • How to Size Servo Motors: Advanced Inertia Calculations
    When selecting the appropriate servo motor for a motion control application, one must know the inertia of the load being rotated. Most servo motor manufacturers have software for sizing applications using basic mechanisms, such as ballscrews or rack-and-pinion. More complex systems, however, may
  • Motor Application: Horizontal Panel Beam Saw
    by a brushless motor matched to either a belt drive or rack and pinion system.
  • 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
  • Saw Machine - Horizontal Panel Beam Saw
    by a brushless motor matched to either a belt drive or rack and pinion system.
  • What are Planar Errors and How Do They Affect the Accuracy of a Linear Motion System?
    In an ideal world, a linear motion system would exhibit perfectly flat, straight motion and reach the intended position with zero error every time. But even the highest precision linear guides and drives (screws, rack and pinions, belts, linear motors) have some errors due to machining tolerances
  • Carbon Fiber Placement Application
    systems with Zero-backlash ensure that the axes synchronize and the part is compliant. Due to the reducer pinion and rack precision, the position is controlled by an encoder on the servo-motor eliminating the need for expensive linear scales.
  • 4 Primary Application Parameters-Stroke, Load, Speed and Precision
    of drive mechanisms-ball screws, belts, rack and pinions, linear motors, and pneumatics-with guide and housing options to fit virtually any application, environment, or space constraint. The dilemma for engineers now is less about finding a system that will work for their application, and more
  • Can a Linear Actuator Provide the Rigidity and Accuracy of a Linear Stage?
    . This distinction implies that linear actuators can provide longer strokes and use a variety of drive mechanisms (belt, screw, rack and pinion), while stages generally have higher rigidity and use high-precision linear guides and drive mechanisms (typically a ball screw or linear motor) for excellent
