‘Linear Actuators’
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 Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from
Renishaw: "Renishaw has introduced 1nm and 2nm resolution versions of its Tonic incremental encoder range.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Ansys
- take a look at Ansys launches software bundle for universities
which says: "Ansys has announced its Ansoft Academic Product bundle. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Variohm Eurosensor, Variohm unveils membrane potentiometer range,
as well as Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech,
and NSK bearings save costs for carbon-fibre producer from NSK UK.
