‘Guideway’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Schaeffler offers monorail guidance software from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Calculation software for monorail guidance systems that helps distributors and end users to minimise development times for new machine builds is available, for free via the Internet. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Exide provides battery systems for urban transport from
Exide Technologies: "Exide Technologies has provided battery technology for the Ultra personal rapid transit system.".
In August 2009, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK)
- take a look at Schaeffler develops bearings for medical equipment
which says: "The Schaeffler Group has developed a wide range of standard and custom bearing solutions for the healthcare sector.".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Schaeffler offers driven linear units,
as well as Miniature linear guides offer high load capacity from Schaeffler (UK),
and Schaeffler has linear guidance for patients from Schaeffler (UK).
