Step motors,Booth 6848. The Permanent Magnet(PM)
series of precision step motors was developed for step accuracy,
dynamic torque and cost reduction, providing increased holding
and dynamic torque over conventional products in excess of
15%. The line complies with diverse product demands by changing
the combination of shafts, front plates and wire harnesses.
The company also makes hybrid step motors and sheet metal
hybrid motors. NMB Technologies Corp, Chatsworth,

Linear encoder and digital readout.Booth 432.
The VL18 linear encoder and DVL digital readout combines the
simplicity and ruggedness of incremental scale construction
with the advantages of pseudorandom encoding. Using the company's
Virtual Absolute technology, the VL18 is more reliable than
conventional absolute and incremental linear encoders. Gurley

Optical isolator,Booth 6639. This DIN rail optical
isolator for encoders is part of a family of externally mounted
electronic packages. The isolation circuitry in this module
acts as an encoder interface to provide an electrically robust
output to the receiving electronics. The device can be used
to eliminate ground loops, reduce signal degradation from
long cable runs, or provide a means to distribute an encoder
signal to multiple input devices. BEI Sensors &

Ball
screws and linear guides,Booth 9142.The S1 Series
Technology for ball screws and linear guides is a patent-pending
design. The design includes retaining pieces made of engineering
plastic placed between traveling balls, thereby eliminating
direct ball-to-ball contact. Besides improvements in noise
generation and vibration levels, the product offers improved
torque characteristics. NSK Precision America Inc,
Bloomingdale, IL. Free info--Circle 923. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-923
Linear actuator,Booth 8805. This compact NEMA
size 17 linear actuator combines high torque stepping motor
capability with an anti-backlash feature for improved bi-directional
position accuracy and longer lifespan. Especially designed
for medical and semiconductor manufacturing applications,
typical backlash errors measure 0.003-in. and deteriorate
further with leadscrew and nut wear. The actuators are driven
by bipolar or unipolar stepper drives. Eastern Air Devices
Inc, Dover, NH. Free info--Circle 903. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-903
Digital position indicator,Booth 140. This company's
DA09S quick-change mechanical position indicators are easy
to read and retrofit easily into present systems. The indicators
feature standard metric and English spindle pitches and ratios
up to 100 counts per turn, easy installation, accuracy to
0.01 mm or 0.0001 inch, support of shaft sizes up to 35 mm,
and a choice of housing colors. SIKO Products Inc,
Dexter, MI. Free info--Circle 924. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-924
Servo controller and amplifier,Booth 420. The
RTC-3000 freestanding controller/amplifier measures only 3.68-
x 1.815- x 0.35-inches (about the size of a credit card) and
will completely operate virtually any small brushed or brushless
DC servo. Apply 24 VDC to the device and download a program
using the host utility and you have a complete stand-alone
system. Up to 120 RTC-3000s can be combined on a single RS-485
network. Animatics Corporation, Santa Clara,
CA. Free info--Circle 904. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-904
AC
servo actuator,Booth 9129.The TPM servo gear motor
package, designed specifically for applications requiring
highly dynamic moves and a small footprint, combines a brushless
AC servomotor and a low-backlash, high-precision TP planetary
gearhead. The high degree of stiffness, achieved by direct
integration of the pinion into the motor shaft, allows for
higher positioning accuracy (<1 arc-minute of backlash).
