This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A linear actuator is a combination of linear guides and power-transmission components contained in an assembly.

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

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 ...

Beamline diagnostics are an essential part of any particle accelerator, used to measure and monitor the properties of the particle beam itself. Within these diagnostic systems, precise linear motion ...

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 ...
