Aerotech’s AGC Series Goniometric Cradles are an essential element for single or multi-axis rotary micro-positioning where the payload or measurement area needs to be at the centre of rotation and an unobstructed line of sight is required. Three goniometers are available, each with a travel range of ± 45° and radii of curvature set at 85 mm, 160 mm and 245 mm - allowing the units to be stacked toge...

IDEAL FOR DIRECT DRIVES UNITEC RTB AMS bearings series, with integrated angle measuring system are bidirectional axial-radial combined, designed for rotary tables and spindle heads for machine tools. To improve performances of applications where RTB bearings series are installed, UNITEC developed new version RTB AMS, integrating AMOSIN precision inductive measuring system. The manufactur...

The BiSlide Belt Drive Assembly consists of a motor/gearbox, mounted 90 degrees to a linear dovetail stage. The motor/gearbox couples to a stainless steel pulley which drives a steel reinforced timing belt. The belt drive assembly is useful for long travel and high speeds. Speeds as high as 3 meters per second can be achieved using direct drive motors and high powered controllers. For high reso...

In aircraft component manufacturing the application of carbon fibre prepregs requires utmost precision. Laser projectors help in positioning the prepregs and the preassembled components with the required high level of accuracy. Laser projectors save time – while enhancing precision. CAD-PRO 3D laser projectors from LAP are used in aircraft manufacturing for positioning CFR prepregs with an exactne...

Aerotech has increased its LaserTurn® range of integrated linear/rotary motion subsystems aimed at high throughput cylindrical laser processing applications. Using Aerotech’s brushless direct-drive positioning technology, the new LaserTurn1 provides high speed and high resolution positioning for 100 mm of linear travel and full spindle rotation, and comes complete with collet and automated material...

PBC Linear has recently implemented a new, custom made sensor bearing into large paper plant dryers. Previously using Babbitt bearings, the paper plant was experiencing constant downtime, using an immense amount of energy, and reporting loss of product, and profits. After changing these older bearings out, the paper company began to experience immediate benefits. Enhanced product life, mass energy ...

In 1992, PBC Linear (Pacific Bearing Company) introduced doctor bearings as a long-lasting solution to paper mills constantly shutting down their production line due to failing ball bearings. Using Simplicity® technology, the doctor bearings were positioned to outlast the competition and keep paper mill dryers running 24/7! Now, Doctor Bearings are used all around the country, running successfully ...

We have 2 different dampers that you can use for closing the drawer in a smooth and quiet way. The first type of damper is mounted outside the slide and can be used with for instance the large pull-out columns, or special corner-storage solutions in kitchen furniture. The damper is characterized by a 40 kg load capacity per damper, combined with a 100 mm pull in. For the column set the load capac...

Technical features: - Resolve existing misalignment issues - Rails with fl at raceways “U”, to combine with rails with C-shaped raceways (TEX-TES) offering lateral freedom to the slider, indispensable to solve axial parallelism errors - Material: AISI 316L stainless steel (UEX) and zinc plated steel (UES) - 3 sizes available (20, 30 and 45 mm) - Max. radial load capacity up to 1.740 N -...

Raising productivity to new heights In cross roller linear bearings, it is possible for the cage to move freely along the longitudinal axis allowing it to become off-centre. This problem, known as “cage creep”, can reduce the effectiveness of your particular application, if for example the cage has to be continually centred. This raises cycle times and reduces production output. In order to p...
