Linear ball bearing assemblies
Available in
one-piece lengths of 12- to 24-in., and two piece construction in lengths
from 28- to 48-in., these high-precision units provide flatness and straightness
of ±0.0002 in. per in. Travel covers the full length of the shafts.
The shafting, made from C-1060 hardened and ground steel or 303 stainless,
is continuously supported to prevent flexing, and the recirculating ball
bearings are self-cleaning. Tusk Direct, Bethel, CT. Free

Guided slides
Exceptionally tolerant of torsional and direct side loads in limited
spaces, GS Series slides are for use in semiconductor, packaging, and other
related automation operations. Configured to individual end use requirements
from standard components, available bore sizes range from 8 to 32mm, with
metric and imperial mounting, plus options for 4mm sensors and sensor kits
offered. Compact Automation Products, Westminster, SC. Free

Positioning stages
A line of stages meets fiber optic manufacturing requirements for alignment,
attachment and component manufacturing processes. They are equipped with
either a brushless servo motor, for high force and smooth motion at speeds
below 50 microns per second; or a non-dithering piezo motor for resolutions
below 50nm. A high-resolution linear encoder with the piezo motor provides
sub-arc-second resolution. Bayside Motion Group, Port Washington,
NY. Free info--Circle 432. http://www.OneRS.net/106df-432
Anti-backlash nuts
Both the XC-3700SH and XC-5000SH Short Body nuts feature ActiveCAM technology
to achieve zero backlash and consistent, minimal drag torque. Their reduced
length promotes greater usable stroke distance, and plastic construction
means they can be run without lubrication. The 3700, for 3/8-in. dia screws,
and the 5000, for 1/2-in. dia screws, are offered in threaded or flange
mount versions. Ball Screws & Actuators Co, Inc, San Jose,
CA. Free info--Circle 433. http://www.OneRS.net/106df-433
Zero-backlash gearheads
The PSA-G line of harmonic drive gearheads can be supplied with low outgassing
or non-lithium grease for cleanroom, wafer handling and semiconductor manufacturing.
Available in standard gear ratios from 50:1 to 100:1, these rugged units
handle radial shaft loading of up to 52 kg, and measure as little as 33mm
in diameter and 50mm in body length. The lightweight devices deliver accurate
angular position. Harmonic Drive Technologies, Peabody, MA.
