A well-optimized linear unit offers a versatile, compact motion solution that can reliably serve an application for years. This guide highlights the strengths and limitations of linear guidance ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...
