‘Nema’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech: "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. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Astrosyn International Technology - take a look at Stepper motors available with adaptable shaft which says: "High-torque stepper motors from Astrosyn International Technology are available with an adaptable rear shaft that can be fitted with an accessory such as a brake or encoder. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, Pittman AB servo motors available in NEMA sizes, as well as Bonfiglioli increases gearbox availability from Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions, and Danfoss VLT drive eliminates harmonic disturbances from Danfoss Drives.
