‘Linear Drives’
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 Micromech
- take a look at Fastpack drives cut energy use in fans and pumps
which says: "Micromech has released the Parker SSD drives for fans and pumps, a range of three-phase industrial drives designed to help save energy in applications up to 110kW.".
Take a look also at the news release from Variohm Eurosensor, Variohm unveils membrane potentiometer range,
as well as Pan-and-tilt positioner integrates electronics from Aerotech,
and Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech.
