A Basic Guide to Applying Hybrid Stepper Actuators to Any Design

January 8, 2020 By

Hybrid Stepper Actuators are electromechanical devices that incorporate a rotary hybrid stepper motor with a rotary-to-linear device (typically a Lead Screw) to impart motion to linear axes. Adopted in the 1980’s, hybrid stepper motors excel in compact machines requiring simplicity. Pre-integrated … [Read more...]

Blower airflow separation: where are bypass blowers (and their separate airflow paths) useful?

May 1, 2018 By

Bypass blowers are electric-motor-driven blowers that segregate two paths of air: • the path of air for performing the application’s blowing or vacuum function and • the path of air to cool the blower’s motor during operation. Download the Ametek white paper to learn more. … [Read more...]

What are dual-motion hybrid actuators and where do they excel?

May 1, 2018 By

Some motion applications need axes to deliver both linear and rotary motion. Conventional designs for such functionality are often complicated and bulky. What’s more, rotary motors put to linear motion often have output shafts that are inadequate for supporting heavy side loads. Download the … [Read more...]

Noise and vibration in leadscrew-driven motion designs and how to avoid them

April 30, 2018 By

Leadscrews — especially those with high-accuracy threads — can be a low-vibration alternative to other linear-motion options. That’s in part because of the consistent contact between their load-bearing mating subcomponents. Download the white paper from Ametek … [Read more...]

Incremental Encoder Signals

March 24, 2016 By

Incremental encoders are used on motors and equipment as feedback devices to determine position and direction of machinery. Motor controllers can also use position information from the encoder to commutate the motor and calculate velocity for speed control. The incremental encoder is a critical … [Read more...]

Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design

March 24, 2016 By

In many devices lead screw assemblies are used to convert motion from rotary to linear and vice versa. Historically these assemblies have had poor efficiencies and relied on grease for improved performance. Over the past few decades the advent of engineered polymers and new manufacturing … [Read more...]

Reimagining Reflective Encoders

March 24, 2016 By

Traditionally, reflective encoders have been considered a lower end option used when cost was more important than options. Whether needing high CPR, an index channel or compact sizes, it's time to reevaluate reflective technology. New encoders are still economical but now offer improved performance … [Read more...]
