DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors.
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors.
DC to AC inverters are used for converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). They are also known as DC to AC converters.
Electric brake and clutch assemblies consist of elements for both the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) and for the slowing or stopping of shafts (brake) in equipment drives.
Electric brakes are assemblies consisting of electrical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Electrical power is required to activate the brake.
Electrical clutches are assemblies consisting of elements for the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) in equipment drives.
Fabricated plastic parts and semi-finished shapes include molded, cast, extruded and machined parts made from any polymeric materials.
Gearboxes and gearheads are speed reducers that consist of a set of gears, shafts, and bearings in an enclosed housing. In converting inputs to outputs, they reduce RPM and increase torque.
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down.
Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxides, carbides, or nitrides. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.
Industrial robots are programmable mechanical devices that contain rotary and/or prismatic joints in order to perform precise, repetitive movements. Types of industrial robots include articulated, Cartesian, cylindrical, gantry, parallel (hexapods), SCARA, and spherical.
Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported.
Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy.
Linear guides and rails provide a smooth, precision, guiding surface on which the rolling element of a linear bearing rides.
Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. They are capable of extremely high speeds, quick acceleration, and accurate positioning.
Linear shafts are elongated, rod-shaped devices that provide linear or rotary motion for power transmission applications.
Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis.
Machine tool spindles are rotating components used to hold and drive cutting tools or workpieces on lathes, milling machines and other machine tools.
Mechanical brake and clutch assemblies consist of elements for both the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) and for the slowing or stopping of shafts (brake) in equipment drives.
Mechanical brakes are assemblies consisting of mechanical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Mechanical power is required to activate the brake.
Mechanical clutches are assemblies consisting of elements for the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) in equipment drives.
Metal balls and spherical shapes are used as check or ball valves, bearings, or other applications. Metal bearing balls are precision ground for ball bearings or other motion systems.
Metal shapes and stock includes metals and alloys in the form of bar, rod, beam, plate, foil and other standard shapes.
Motion control software uses advanced algorithms for programming, monitoring, and optimizing digital motion control products.
Motion control systems contain matched components such as controllers, motor drives, motors, encoders, user interfaces and software. Components in these systems are optimally matched by the manufacturer.
Motion controllers range from simple linear controllers to complex, user-programmable modules that act as controllers within complex integrated multi-axis motion systems.
Motor controllers receive supply voltages and provide signals to motor drives that are interfaced to motors. They include a power supply, amplifier, user interface, and position control circuitry.
Nickel and nickel alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior elevated temperature properties.
Nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, refractory metals.
