ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. offers a range of Integrated Racks which mount directly to most standard linear guide rails, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving time and money. Compact, performance optimized designs can easily be achieved with these racks.

 PI’s new M-687 motorized microscope XY stage for inverted microscopes is more compact and stable than traditional computer controllable microscope stages, due to its fully integrated, miniaturized ceramic linear drives. The M-687 is delivered as a complete system including a controller, joystick and software.

SFP draw wire unit comes to replace the ageing SFMP model, improving its technical features and adding increased benefits still at the same price.

SFP is a compact, reliable and rugged “cable pulling” measuring system designed for linear measuring and positioning needs in any industrial application. The principle behind its operation is very simple yet dependable and bases on a stainless steel wire which is easily attached to moving equipment. The wire is wound onto a drum. The typical back and forth travel of the moving equipment causes the wire to be uncoiled and then wound again onto the drum. An integrated rotary potentiometer detects the rotation of the drum and thus generates a signal which is proportional to the movement of the drum and the moving equipment as well.

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions prides itself on its ability to customize linear motion systems for just about any application. Among these applications is a linear actuator used in a throttle control system designed specifically for harsh environments.

This particular linear actuator is used to control the power to a cement mixer aboard a piece of heavy construction equipment. The typical operating environment for this application ranges from extremely dry and dusty to extremely hot and humid with nearly every other possibility in between.
