‘Linear Motion’
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 HT Servo motor has integrated microstepping driver from
HT Servo : "HT Servo has released its improved Silverpak 23D Plus, a high-torque NEMA 23-step motor with an integrated microstepping driver. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Galil Motion Control
- take a look at Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance
which says: "Galil Motion Control has provided a DMC-4020 controller for the US Border Patrol's surveillance system. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions,
as well as NEi adds explicit dynamics to simulation software from NEi Software,
and Variohm unveils membrane potentiometer range from Variohm Eurosensor.
