Small shock absorbers and structural dampers
Good brakes are needed when driving fast. Users of linear drives have a wide range of components and system solutions to choose from: on the one hand, hydraulic damping elements such as small shock absorbers for more demanding solutions and, on the other, more cost-effective products such as structural dampers for simpler tasks. Two practical examples from ACE shock absorbers illustrate that there are suitable solutions for practically all applications that allow even fast processes to run smoothly.

After fifty years as part of the SKF Group, SKF Motion Technologies (SMT) was acquired by Triton Partners in December 2018. Now the linear technology specialists are taking the next step and presenting their new name and brand identity.

Dunkermotoren will once again be represented at Motek in Stuttgart in 2019, presenting product highlights relating to the Industrial Internet of Things. Including: tubular linear direct drives.

The ECI 63.xx K5 from ebm-papst can be operated as a drive in positioning, speed, current or torque control and thus supports the communication and motion profiles in accordance with IEC 61800-7 (DS402).
Stepper motor linear actuators
Thomson has extended its range of stepper motor linear actuators to include models with a built-in guide that prevents the actuator from twisting.

IAI is launching a series of new designs for the EC Elecylinder at Motek. In addition to splash-proof models, there will also be larger and longer models with greater load capacities.

Online portal for drive solutions
ebm-Papst has revised its web-based online portal for drive solutions. More than 4,000 different drive combinations from the modular system are available in the portal, and defined preferred types are ready for dispatch within 48 hours.

Servotecnica is expanding its product line for applications such as medical technology, robotics and drone technology with the SVTM F series of brushless flat motors. Among other things, the motors are characterized by a high torque in a small space.

Groschopp is adding a new series to its range of standard drives: The EGKZ series servo motors with outputs between 0.4 and three kilowatts complete the existing range of electric motors from Viersen.
