They lie at the heart of every fidget spinner and in every motor that runs our lives, from the steppers in a 3D printer to the hundreds in every car engine. They can be as simple as a lubricated ...

In total, more than 100 billion rolling bearings are currently in operation worldwide. Rolling bearings are used in thousands of industrial, automotive, marine and aerospace applications. Statistics ...

Machines that turn, eject, cut, and spray rely on efficient, automatically reversing linear motion. Rolling-ring linear drives are commonly used in these types of applications because they eliminate ...

Adding new features and capabilities to bearings improves productivity and lowers costs. Bearings have long been used to reduce friction, support loads, locate shafts, and reinforce system rigidity.

This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

PI, a global leader in precision motion control and air bearing motion systems, offers the A-688 rotary stage, a groundbreaking motorized, air-bearing based rotation stage, engineered for ...
