‘Linear Motion’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Compact Plus coupling fits into a small envelope from Schmidt-Kupplung, which we summarised at the time by saying "Schmidt-Kupplung's Semiflex Compact Plus range features a compact design and functional attributes that allow integration into tight spaces in conjunction with parallel shift options. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord from Nord Drivesystems: "Nord Gear's SK 200E frequency inverter range combines a sensorless current vector drive with control and communications features in a compact IP55 or IP66 rated enclosure.".

In July 2009, we covered the news from PI (Physik Instrumente) - take a look at Positioning stages with sub-nanometre resolution which says: "Physik Instrumente has extended its line of piezo stages for super-resolution microscopy with the PI Nano series nanopositioning stages. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Geeplus, Geeplus launches smallest voice coil motor, as well as PCB unveils range of MEMS shock accelerometers from PCB Piezotronics, and Mercury II 1600 encoder is easy to install from Inmoco.
