Linear slides and stages provide smooth, precision linear motion and positioning for many different types of automated machinery. They use one of several linear bearing methods to reduce friction, ...

These devices, in turn, need functional drivers or motors, which can include handwheels or cranks, linear motors (direct drives), AC motors, DC servo motors, brushless servos, and stepper motors. In ...

A lot of projects require linear motion, but not all of them require high-accuracy linear slides and expensive ball screws. When just a little shove for a door or the ability to pop something up ...
