There has been a wide debate in the industrial press in recent times regarding the comparisons of hydraulic and electric actuation. It would appear that the performance and cost analysis, the two factors which have driven decision making for decades, are not the only features on which to draw comparisons, and conclusions, in today’s environmentally conscious world. Motion Control Products, a Bournemouth based distributor of motion control systems and solutions, […]
Motion Control Products have introduced a new range of Coreless DC motors that have some distinct advantages over standard DC motors. These include longer life expectancy, light weight, high acceleration, less vibration, less noise and can operate at very low speeds. The coil is formed as a thin hollow cylinder, rather than the coils being wound around a stack of laminations. The stator with its permanent magnets supplies the magnetic […]
As industry today strives for more efficiency, increased output and reduced costs, Motion Control Products has introduced the Elfin series of collaborative robots to support the automation procedures associated with repetitive tasks. The Elfin robot arm system integrates the motors, harmonic gearboxes, brakes, feedback devices/sensors, drives and cables into a compact structure. This achieves high precision and flexible automation control in 6-axis of rotation, each with a full 360˚ of […]
The linear ball screw servo motor actuator, or servo actuator, converts the rotation of the motor into a linear movement via a ball nut with ball screw assembly. The ball nut is attached to the rotor of the servo motor and rotates with it. The ball screw passes through the rotor and remains stationary, as it is fixed at both ends. A linear bearing with guide or rail assembly is […]
