Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...

• The overall design determines basic drive mechanisms. • Motor-gearing combinations typically determine gear reduction ratios and other key parameters. It can be difficult to specify drive components ...

MACHINE FEED DRIVES that use ball screws that incorporate rotary encoders are prone to position measurement error as a result of thermally induced expansion because ...

The EGC-HD (heavy duty) has a load bearing capacity twice that of the standard model. The actuator features recirculating ball bearing guides that helps absorb lateral forces and torques. With a ...
