How well a linear actuator performs in its straightness and flatness is highly dependent upon its Abbe Error…that is the angular error caused by the rolling, pitching and yawing of the carriage as it moves.  But, why does it change the performance…and by how much?

Parker's ACR7000 Multi-Axis Servo Controller combines performance, value, and scalability that meets and exceeds OEM expectations. The 7000 series utilizes re-imagined hardware designs, well-suited for tabletop and laboratory-style instruments.

UE Precision Sensors worked with leading semiconductor manufacturers to create state-of-the-art products that assist with contamination prevention and safety by monitoring pressure, flow, level, and temperature at all times.

Iwaki Air's 3/8" TC-X 100/101 Series pump is great for drum unloading where frequent start/stop actions are required. Available in a metallic or non-metallic body with endless diaphragm possibilities, this series drops into the Yamada DP-10 footprint.

After all this education and talking about sizing and selecting electric linear actuators, you probably are wondering what tools you have available for you to take a crack at it yourself.

Traditional process stream carbon adsorption has utilized relatively large loose carbon granules. The carbon granules are typically held within replaceable filter canisters.

Valin provides quality motor products designed to perform in environments and applications where ordinary motors are unsuitable.

Strategic implementation of sensors helps maximize a process from the start and equips operators with enough information to constantly be aware of everything happening in a line. So, what type of sensor(s) will work best for your environment?

Looking for ways to support your systems more easily, more safely, and more quickly for your customers?  Perhaps you are wondering what remote access technology is for industrial control systems.

Valins Bruce Ng continues the conversation on what happens to the lifespan of an actuator when important moment-loading information is omitted in Episode 25.

We've talked about loading and moment loading and what we need to know in order to size and select an actuator properly. Interestingly enough, what we do as Application Engineers is to help you fill in all the gaps, all the what-you-don’t-knows. So, I've asked one of our Senior Application Engineers, Kent Martins, to go through a sizing and show you what he does.

One of the best ways to decrease your operating expenses is to reduce your scrap. In this video we're going to talk about process heating and controls and specifically Watlow's new power controller called the Aspyre.

Recent events with the COVID-19 Virus has placed a spotlight on disinfecting and cleaning our personal areas and our work areas more frequently with reliable solutions. Actril is a ready to use cold sterilant, hydrogen peroxide based disinfectant solution.

What happens if you use the incorrect terminology?  What if you say “accuracy” but need “repeatability”?  We interview Ray Marquiss in Episode 23 to find out.

Actril™ Cold Sterilant Demonstrate Complete Inactivation of 229E Human Coronavirus Strain in 5 Minutes!

Concerned about COVID-19 Coronavirus? Cantel recently had a third-party laboratory verify the efficacy of its Actril™ and Minncare™ Cold Sterilant on hard, non-porous surfaces. The test demonstrated a complete inactivation of the 229E human coronavirus strain in 5 minutes.

How do you mitigate your risks when sizing, selecting and designing mechanics?  How do you decide whether to make or buy your mechanics?  Here are some considerations.

You may be at the point of looking at adding feedback to your mechanics in order to make them more precise or to capture some of the errors I discussed last episode in Episode 20. But, you may also be wondering about some of the problems that can cause.

Concerned about COVID-19 Coronavirus? Cantel recently had a third-party laboratory verify the efficacy of its Actril and Minncare Cold Sterilant on hard, non-porous surfaces. The test demonstrated a complete inactivation of the 229E human coronavirus strain in 5 minutes at room temperature when used according to label instructions.

I have a question for you:  Do you embrace linear encoders?  Or do you avoid them whenever possible?  Or are you wondering what a linear encoder even is?  After all this sizing and selecting of mechanics, and even designing your own mechanics, you might be considering putting a feedback device on there and whether you should or not.

LOSTPED is an acronym where LOSTPED stands for Load, Orientation, Speed, Travel, Precision, Environment and Duty Cycle.  But, what does it REALLY mean?

Frameless motors are the ideal solution for machine designs that require high performance in small spaces. Kit motors allow for direct integration with a mechanical transmission device, eliminating parts that add size and complexity. Learn more.

Parker's Electromechanical & Drives Division North America is pleased to announce the release of our P Series Express Motor options for the OSPE product line. These options provide convenient, configurable standard product offerings to include our P Series servo motors factory installed. Learn more.

Incorporating a gearhead into your application vs. a servo motor alone can offer several advantages related to performance and cost.
