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 2013 Linear Motion Catalog and Design Guide contains new product sections, including Idea encoder-ready stepper motor controllers, BGS linear rail systems, and a linear-rail application checklist.

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Brian Burke of Bishop-Wisecarver explains why guide wheels are often used as a component of linear motion systems in automated machinery and why they're considered critical to the dependability of ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

A new range of hydrostatic linear guides has been developed that combines excellent damping characteristics with the compact dimensions of a profiled rail linear guide. Following extensive research ...
