A “washdown environment” is one that utilizes either by hand or by automatic means, cleaning with water, chemicals, or a mixture of these. This washdown process can be as simple as a cloth and bucket, ...

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. A linear motor applies thrust directly to a load, and does not require any intermediate mechanism to convert rotary motion into linear ...

Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

To fully appreciate the chief advantages of linear motors, it is helpful to compare them to ballscrews, another high-precision rotary-to-linear transmission system. Although typical ballscrews are ...

Linear actuation, or moving a load in a straight path, can be accomplished using a variety of methods. Each actuator type has features and performance capabilities inherent in the base technology ...

With market-validated design information for all major types of linear circuits, this book enables engineers to be more effective in designing discrete and integrated circuits by helping them ...

Blackwire Designs, a national distributor in the custom installation and Pro AV markets, has announced a series of updates to its award-winning Blacklight Linear Lighting Design Software. These ...
