The newly developed "Motorized Miniature Slide Guide" MML from ERO-Führungen is a positioning system with an extremely small footprint.

A new short-stroke linear actuator from Ketterer Antriebe and Halstrup-Walcher, which has now been launched on the market, is said to be much easier to control than pneumatic cylinders.

Five students from Heubach have developed a machine specifically for packaged spices together with engineers and trainees from EMAG LaserTec GmbH.

Polymer plain bearing technology
Two brothers want to drive across Alaska in an amphibious vehicle they built themselves. To enable "Urmel" to drive over hill and dale, ice and snow, lightweight and wear-resistant bearings were needed. The young inventors rely on lubricant-free Iglidur Tribo polymers.
Calculation of vibration dampers
With the help of the ACE online tool, a company was able to effectively decouple its bowl feeders, which it uses for sorting, conveying and supplying in medical technology, from vibrations.

The compact, ready-to-install linear modules from Bosch Rexroth are now also available in size 140. The modules with anodized aluminium profile bodies and integrated rail guides are available with either an MKK ball screw drive or an MKR toothed belt drive.

The new miniature linear guideways in the LLS series from Ewellix are suitable for industrial and laboratory applications. Ewellix pre-greases the carriages at the factory.

Spring requirements are diverse and individual. It is therefore important that the spring manufacturer can react flexibly to customer requirements and supply individual special springs in addition to the standard springs that are quickly available from stock.

From NSK comes the optimized RA series of linear roller guides. It is equipped with new V1 seals and an improved cover. In machine tool construction, roller guides often work in contaminated environments.

Rollon has designed the Tecline linear axes especially for handling heavy workpieces. They are particularly resilient and dynamic and are suitable for bridging long strokes and for use in dirty working environments.

Rodriguez covers almost all industrial requirements with its linear systems. The cross-sections of the units range up to 120 x 455 millimetres and the maximum possible travel is 12,000 mm. Depending on the application, the appropriate guides and drives are combined to form a linear system.

The new miniature linear guideways in the LLS series from Ewellix are compact, promise very smooth running and are quiet and durable. They are suitable for industrial and laboratory applications.

A ball screw or trapezoidal screw is usually connected to the drive journal via a flexible coupling. This allows center misalignment or misalignment errors to be compensated and vibrations and shocks in the drive train to be minimized. Dr. Tretter now offers compact shaft couplings for this purpose.

igus has now developed a new linear and spatial gantry especially for large workspaces. With the two new kinematics, users can now move up to five kilograms. Both gantries are available directly from stock. In addition, they can be customized to the respective customer application, starting from a quantity of 1.

Thomson Industries, a specialist in mechanical drive solutions, will be exhibiting at SPS together with Altra Industrial Motion Corporation. The focus will be on linear drive components.

Item is expanding its intelligent Motiondesigner and Motionsoft software to include an additional application area. At SPS, the company will be demonstrating how the new generation of software supports users in the design and commissioning of mechanically synchronized linear units.

Heavy-duty aluminum profiles guarantee stable overall constructions and are extremely lightweight. The heavy-duty profiles in the Blocan series from RK Rose+Krieger have high bending and torsional rigidity with a comparatively low dead weight, according to the manufacturer.

Linear systems are often used on the machine wall to move doors, monitors or panels. Igus has developed a hybrid linear system so that the linear guides can better absorb the lateral forces.

Designing the right shaft for an application is not easy without CAD software and in-depth expertise. This is why Igus has developed the Drylin shaft configurator, a new free and freely accessible online tool.
