Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

The advanced stage design provides for excellent straightness and flatness values as low as 1µm. Crossed roller bearings ...

Bell-Everman's new ServoSpline positioning stage offers a unique drive mechanism that provides backlash-free motion and simplified control. Bell-Everman's new ServoSpline positioning stage offers a ...

with an anti-creep mechanism for enhanced reliability. Driven by non-cogging, 3-phase direct-drive linear motors, the stages ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Most linear bearings incorporate ball bearings (usually of metal) to reduce friction between moving parts. Of these designs, most bushings, ball splines, linear guides and slides recirculate balls. As ...
