Piezo ultrasonic linear drives customized for a special application:

When both high speeds and the greatest possible positioning accuracy are required at the same time, ultrasonic piezo linear drives are the obvious choice. With resolutions as good as 20 nm (0.79 micro-inch), speeds of up to 1 m/s and theoretically unlimited travel ranges, they are an attractive alternative to classic electromagnetic motor-leadscrew combinations. At the same time, they are consider...

Permanent Magnet Brakes Apply Controlled Stop

Like spring applied brakes , permanent magnet industrial brakes are applied when power is lost. However unlike spring applied brakes, permanent magnet brakes can be applied gradually by controlling the voltage/current. This can be very important if either people or delicate materials are involved.

Ogura products are manufactured in Europe, North and South America and Asia. Manufa...
