Piezoelectricity—the characteristic of certain solid materials whereby electric charge accumulates internally and is released when the material is stressed—was discovered by Jaques and Pierre Curie in ...
Roller-pinion systems are a better option than rack and pinions where accuracy and a minimum of friction are important. • Roller pinions can provide accurate positioning up to ±30 µm (±0.00118 in.) • ...
Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
