‘Aluminium Extrusions’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from
Abssac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from
Micromech: "Micromech's Promech linear actuators from Parker are for OEM instrument manufacturers looking to speed time to market and reduce the overall installed cost for linear motion axes. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Festo
- take a look at Festo develops low-cost electric actuator
which says: "Festo has entered the low-cost electric actuator market with the launch of a toothed belt drive axis that combines cost-optimised design rules with precision engineering. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker increases integrity of A-Lok tube fittings,
as well as UK Precision helps produce synthetic body parts from UK Precision,
and MVD transmitter technology enhances Emerson meters from Emerson Process Management.
