Anytime motion occurs to a linear motion system, stresses are created
between therolling elements and their corresponding contact surfaces.
Over time, these stresses can causewear or damage to these surfaces
known as “flaking” (material fatigue). A common ... |

Designing machinery and factory automation equipment is a tough industry
in which to compete, largely because every industrial plant is unique.
Each
operation has its own plant floor layout and process flow and
its own way of organizing production an... |
Typically, the locating pins are used for controlled, fine tolerance
positioning of a work piece. For example, a pallet that is moved along
one axis, where the drive mechanism is not accurate and stable enough to
place it in a position sufficiently accurat... |
