Linear guides support and control precision linear travel on axes in myriad machine and robotics types for modern automation. In linear-motion applications that are especially demanding, linear ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

An incremental rotary encoder converts angular motion or the position of a shaft to either analog or digital code. Incremental encoders are often used in feedback systems. These encoders translate ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

One of the key factors of any automated system is safety. To ensure safety of operators, machines must operate within safety parameters. If a machine strays from these parameters, safety components ...
