Tips For Switching Out Linear Guide Profile Rails
Sometimes, design engineers need a new linear guide profile rail for shorter lead times, lower costs and better customer service. And while manufacturers may have similar interchangeable products, taking a closer look will make sure you get the same high-quality...
High Quality Linear Guides in a Hurry
Obtaining quality linear guides could take many weeks – or even months. Every day you are waiting for them to arrive is a day you aren’t shipping your machine. The Mono Rail Plus FAST Delivery Program allows you to...
High Quality, Affordable Automation
Rollon’s ECO Series of linear units, part of the company’s new family of ActuatorLINE products, offer designers a range of stroke lengths, load capacities and shuttling speeds to meet a variety of application requirements in a cost-effective manner. ECO units...
New Telescopic Rails For Aircraft Interiors Reduce Weight
In aircraft seating, every ounce counts. And as first and business seats grow more complex, it’s increasingly difficult to meet weight targets. Our new DE Series telescopic rails can help. Weighing 30% less than our standard telescopic rails, the...
Avoid Actuator Overkill, Control Costs
When engineers design motion control systems, they sometimes commit a costly error known as actuator overkill. As its name suggests, this error involves the selection of actuators whose precision, speed, lifecycle or other technical capabilities exceed the true application requirements....
Heavy-Duty Linear Actuators For Multi-Axis Jobs
Linear motion applications often involve heavy-duty, multi-axis manipulation of heavy loads at high speeds. A prime example would be palletizing equipment, but many applications have similarly intense motion requirements. To meet the needs of these heavy-duty, multi-axis linear motion...
Vertical Applications Call For Specialized Linear Actuators
Setting up a dynamic, high-speed linear motion system is challenging enough. Flip it 90° to go vertical, and things get even trickier. In theory, linear actuators should work in any orientation. However, in real-world installations, cables can become tangled and...
ELM Series Actuators Enable Fast, Quiet, Versatile Motion
Making its official debut at the IMTS Show in September, the ELM series of linear actuators is the first member of our new family of ActuatorLINE products. Tested and proven in the European market, versatile ActuatorLINE units are now available...
Understanding Precision In Linear Motion Applications
Every linear application, from simple pick-and-place to circuit board printing, requires some level of precision. This concept, one of the most vital in the world of linear motion, is best understood when broken into two separate terms: repeatability and accuracy....
Robust Actuators Enable Reliable, Repeatable Motion
Since actuators serve as the workhorse of so many applications, they must be reliable. When specifying a Cartesian robot system, the overall quality of your actuator is essential. And picking an actuator with rigid linear guides and heavy-duty ball screws...
Cartesian And Six-axis: Which System Is Best For Your Industrial Application?
As more manufacturers automate their operations to improve productivity and competitiveness, different robotic systems have become available to perform a diversity of production tasks. Cartesian systems have been a workhorse in production facilities, while systems with articulated arms — such...
How To Protect Your Actuator From Contamination
Contamination can be tough on your linear actuators. Airborne contaminants can work their way into crevices, causing premature wear and shortening your actuator’s life. Some solutions, like polyurethane seal strips, boast 100 percent protection from particulates as small as 10...
