Learn how to reduce noise and distortion in encoders’ signals
To ensure clarity of signal from your encoder, and avoid excessive electrical noise, there are several options and installation considerations to take into account. This white paper will focus on strategies and ways to reduce noise and signal distortions to ensure the signal from your encoder … [Read more...]
Helical Planetary Gearboxes: Understanding The Tradeoffs
The choice between helical and spur gears in planetary gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you need to maximize the gearbox’s torque density or working life … [Read more...]
Miniature Linear Bearings Offer Maximum Performance
In the semiconductor, medical, surgical, robotics and precision machinery industries, components must sometimes be sized to the smallest dimensions possible to meet demanding performance criteria. When bearing sizes range from 1 to 25mm, load capacity and maintenance can become more of an issue than … [Read more...]
TC-ER tray cables eliminate installation burdens for servo systems
In large factories, running cable from servo motors to equipment over long distances, to code, can present material and labor burdens or require intermediate cables and connections to accommodate flexing. Durable, flexible, tray cable exposed run (TC-ER) rated cables avoid compliance and … [Read more...]
What are dual-motion hybrid actuators and where do they excel?
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
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...]
Advancements in Servomotor Coupling Technology
The semiconductor, robotics, automation, medical, and precision machinery industries have equipment with the latest servomotor technology possible to meet demanding performance criteria. As gain settings are increased, precision accuracy and speed are critical aspects in which coupling technology … [Read more...]
Considerations for adding Linear Guide Features to Industrial equipment
Bishop-Wisecarver understands the difficulties you may face when designing and building a machine.
