This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. A linear motor applies thrust directly to a load, and does not require any intermediate mechanism to convert rotary motion into linear ...

Knowing the details of a linear-motion application increases the odds of choosing the right ball screw. The more thrust an application requires, the larger the diameter screw will be needed. That’s ...

Linear thrusters use double-acting pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders mated to shafts and plates to provide reoccurring linear motion. Linear thrusters typically use high air pressure (up to ...
