A breakdown of sought-after bearing types for linear and rotary motion applications, including crossed roller, flexible ball and four-point contact ball bearings.

Synopsis: This paper examines how rack and pinion drives compare to linear motors and ball screws. Four key areas are examined: Linear Motion, Ball Screws, Backlash and Electronic ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.
