Tips on Designing with Linear Components for Medical Devices
Medical device designs are evolving rapidly and demand higher standards to prevent medical liability issues. When designing with linear motion components, it is important to collaborate early for best results. The specifications for some medical applications may exceed the capabilities of standa...Read more -
Linear Actuator Designs for Vertical Lifts: How to Size a Jack?
Linear actuator designs for vertical lifts often take the form of worm screw jacks. There are several criteria by which a worm screw jack can be sized properly — six primary factors, to be exact. First is the basic tonnage rating of the jack. This is simply the overall capacity that a jack can ...Read more -
What are Can Stack Linear Actuators?
Can stack linear actuators are based on can stack stepper motors, which are a form of permanent magnet steppers that consist of two stators (and therefore two coils) stacked on top of each other. The poles of each stator are “claw tooth” design and are offset from each other by one-half of the p...Read more -
What are Common Applications for Hybrid Stepper Motor Linear Actuators?
The hybrid stepper motor linear actuator provides good force and speed capabilities with high positioning accuracy. When it comes to electromechanical linear actuators, integrated designs offer space savings, reduced complexity, and lower total cost of ownership with fewer parts required for rep...Read more -

Screw-driven or belt-driven linear actuator?
How to choose the right linear actuator? Linear actuators are an important element in automation and mechanical engineering and help with a variety of tasks, from simple to extremely complex ones. Picking the right one is very important, since linear actuators and linear slides can be driven in ...Read more -
Multi-axis Stages and Tables: Manufacturer Involvement and Software Yield Turnkey Motion Systems
There’s increasing demand for stages, tables, gantries, and indexing tables with simplicity or turnkey operation — largely because of industry moves toward focused expertise and abstraction. No wonder that motion-system manufacturers are now doing more integration for plant engineers and OEMs. A...Read more -
What’s the difference between a vertical lift stage and a Z axis actuator?
In many applications that require vertical motion, a Z axis actuator is combined with one or two horizontal axes in a Cartesian or gantry-style arrangement. In these multi-axis configurations, the moved load is mounted to the Z axis via a bracket, creating a moment load that affects not only the...Read more -
How are multi-axis sensors improving product development?
With a multi–axis sensor design, a single load cell sensor can measure 3 axes of force and 3 torque moments simultaneously. These sensors consist of multiple bridges that precisely measure the applied force from one direction with minimal crosstalk from the other axes. Using a multi-axis sensor,...Read more
