U.S. manufacturer of power transmission and motion control components Custom Machine & Tool Co. now offers design engineers an interactive 3D catalog featuring Concentric Maxi Torque keyless bushings and precision timing pulleys. The catalog was built with eCATALOG 3Dfindit by CADENAS — a digital-parts catalog platform that gives 3D CAD and engineering data to engineers,
In a recent three-part series, we outlined how screw-based and other types of electric actuation increasingly finds use in today’s presses and other machine tools. Part 1 of 3: Heavy-duty electric actuation — in presses Part 2 of 3: Heavy-duty electric actuation — to replace hydraulics Part 3 of 3: Heavy-duty electric actuation — on
In the last installment of this series , we outlined how linear components (including guides, cylinders, and electric actuators) perform well for presses.
Regal Rexnord brand Thomson supplied Elara Aerospace with precision linear-motion technology for its liquid-fueled Methalox rocket. Elara Aerospace is an a
A recent upgrade to the Royal Opera House included customized plastic cable management to support modern LED lighting. Live theater performances depend on engineering, including those at London’s Royal Ballet and Opera. For example, behind each performance is a technical ecosystem designed to move heavy overhead lighting trusses safely and silently. Following 25 years of
Linear-motion systems and gantry robot manufacturer Güdel supplies to automotive, aerospace, and heavy industry spaces needing to move, position, and otherwise handle large and heavy workpieces. Check out these past articles from the Design World network on their linear tracks, 7th-axis RTUs, gantries, and other multi-axis motion systems (including those designed around hardened steel rack-and-pinion
Bogen Magnetics supplies magnetic-based encoders for industrial automation applications. At last year’s Automate Show, we chatted with engineering and sales manager Darrell Davey at the Bogen booth. He detailed how Bogen encoders are often integrated into robotics and medical applications for precise and reliable position feedback. Many of the encoder components you’re seeing here are
