NewTek linear position sensors are used in space industry applications in flight vehicles and ground-based testing. The company’s LVDT position sensors are designed to provide non-contact position feedback in conditions that can include cryogenic temperatures, shock, vibration and vacuum environments. To address aerospace application requirements, NewTek displacement sensors can be customized with rugged and lightweight […]
Bell-Everman to demonstrate gantry robots at Automate 2026
Bell-Everman will exhibit its motion control systems at Automate 2026, taking place June 22–25 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The company will be located at Booth 34036 and will feature live demonstrations of long-travel gantry robots. The booth will include two operating gantry robots. One is a ServoBelt dual-bridge gantry with an XXYYZZ axis configuration, […]
AutomationDirect adds RBS ball screws and nuts
AutomationDirect now offers RBS ball screws and nuts for precise linear motion in OEM and maintenance replacement applications. The U.S.-manufactured ball screws convert rotational motion into linear movement and are designed for positioning accuracy, low friction and long service life. Using recirculating ball bearings that roll instead of slide, they provide efficiency above 90% while […]
Zaber launches compact objective focus stage for microscopy
Zaber Technologies has announced the DMA objective focus stage, a compact linear motor stage for microscope system builders and OEM manufacturers. Starting at $4,500 with controller, the DMA provides 50 nm repeatability and 10 nm minimum incremental moves. It is designed for high-duty-cycle imaging applications with move-and-settle times under 15 ms and an integrated controller […]

Rollon adds roller guides to myRollon configurator
Rollon has added its range of roller guides, including Compact Rail and X-Rail, to the myRollon configurator tool. The platform supports engineers and designers during project development by allowing them to define product configurations, generate product codes and request quotations. A redesigned personal space The personal space has been updated to improve navigation and make […]
Festo expands ELGD rodless actuators for higher loads
As packaging, life science, and light assembly machines evolve, linear axes are being required to meet higher performance demands without increasing machine size or requiring platform redesigns. When an actuator reaches its performance limits, OEMs must either redesign the motion system or limit machine capability. Festo has expanded its ELGD rodless electric actuator family to […]
NB STUDROLLER system targets cage creep in bearings
Powered by NB’s STUDROLLER system, the design uses an anti-cage creep mechanism to help maintain consistent retainer performance in cross roller bearings. Compared with conventional sliding bearings, it can increase the number of effective rollers by up to 53%, raising load ratings by up to 2.3 times, and increase contact length between the roller and […]
THK introduces GL-N compact linear actuators for tight spaces
THK’s GL-N actuators are compact linear actuators intended for space-limited automation, positioning, and inspection applications. The series integrates guidance with the actuator to support controlled linear motion. The GL-N-BS model uses an aluminum base and caged-ball LM guides and adds a QZ lubricator for the ball screw, which is intended to extend lubrication intervals and […]
