Air-powered motion systems combine economy, speed, and cleanliness. Linear-motion devices abound in automated assembly equipment such as robots, conveyors, and pick-and-place systems. Applications ...

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.
