‘Leadscrew’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "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. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Haydon Kerk launches composite polymers from HaydonKerk Motion Solutions: "Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions is offering Kerkite Composite Polymers and other special materials. ".
 
In September 2009, we covered the news from Heason Technology - take a look at Heason unveils positioning actuator system which says: "Heason Technology has launched a modular actuator range for pick and place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Rotalink, Rotalink introduces three gearbox models, as well as LG Motion offers A25 and A40 elevating stages from LG Motion, and LG catalogue details positioning mechanics from LG Motion.
