The company is based in Omoljica, Serbia, near Belgrad. “Our relationship with Impex Technology gives us the dual advantage of having physical representation in this important market and working with someone we know,” said Dr. Stefan Klages, vice presid...

Robust build quality to withstand hostile environments is a standard feature of the GV3 linear motion system from HepcoMotion®. Its all steel slideway is three times stiffer than composite aluminium systems. And continuously developed for more than fifty years, the ‘V’ concept is also central to GV3’s superior performance in tough conditions. One of the major benefits of the GV3’s ‘V’ princip...

The M-900KOPS positioning unit from Physik Instrumente (PI) carries out two-dimensional scans quickly and with a high degree of accuracy. External dimensions of 170 mm put this stage in the ‘compact’ league, but it has a 50 mm scanning range in both axes and a load capacity of up to 660 N. A DC direct drive with zero backlash provides a speedy 10 mm/s with 0.1 µm positioning resolution. The stage ...

With its integrated systems, SCHNEEBERGER supplies solutions that offer a substantial reduction in complexity when constructing machine axes with direct linear scale systems •designed for MTI and general applications •magnetoresistive measuring principle •fully integrated measuring system and reduced process costs •analog, digital and absolute interfaces Properties of the absolute length...

This is an application in the field of solar tracking systems (solar tracker). The gearmotor is made up of an AC motor, a pre stage and a worm gearbox, to be assembled on a slewing bearing which is holding and rotating the solar panel. Thanks to the gearmotor high ratio, precise movement and positioning is possible. The gearmotor assembled on the slewing bearing can be composed also by a DC electri...

Dear Customer, This month we would like to introduce our range of roller cam followers. As you know, cam followers are rolling mechanisms whose particularly thick external ring rolls on a track. The end of the spindle is threaded to enable easy assembly. There are also ready to assemble and pre-greased assemblies designed for all types of cam mechanisms, conveyors, etc . which therefore adapt t...
