Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load. R+W servo-rated torque […]
1½” Double-Wide Linear Unit Can Carry a Ton
Because it has greater ball contact in its ground circular arches (tripling load capacity), the TOPBALL® line by NB Corporation can actually carry a load of up to one ton (2000 lbs). Having three times the conventional load capacity, TOPBALL products minimize space requirements. The TOPBALL line is uniquely engineered to self-align. They have load […]

Save Time and Money with Pre-Harnessed Cable Carrier Systems
Design engineers can save time and money by using pre-harnessed cable carrier systems. They can eliminate fumbling with cables, attaching connectors and assembling separators, mounting brackets and other accessories. Use pre-harnessed systems to: • increase production throughput • improve delivery lead times to customers • reduce inventory and procurement costs • use manufacturing floor space […]
Cut Costs by 40% with Plastic Bearings
Saving time and money is vital in today’s uncertain economy. To cut costs, design engineers should consider the merits of self-lubricating plastic bearings. They are lightweight and require virtually no maintenance. Self-lubricating plastic bearings withstand demanding application conditions, including extreme temperatures, high loads and continuous operation. Plastic plain bearings can reduce costs by 25% when […]
Delta Tau Leads the Way in Scientific Research
Diamond Light Source, one of the largest synchrotron research facilities in the UK, is currently utilizing Delta Tau’s Geo Brick LV (Low Voltage) to control nearly 1500 axes of motion. The Diamond Light Facility can be described as a series of ‘super microscopes’, housed in a striking doughnut-shaped building which is over half a kilometer […]
