Southco introduces R4-50 heavy-duty rotary latch to improve cab access and operator safety
Designed for off-highway and agricultural equipment, the rotary latch enables independent interior and exterior actuation, reduces vibration and accidental release, and offers flexible integration for cab door systems.
IKO LCRB crossed roller bearings dramatically lower weight and size for low- to medium-precision designs
These roller bearings can have as much as 60% less mass than equivalently sized alternatives, helping designers downsize equipment, maximize operating efficiency and reduce cost.
Advanced MES capabilities for scalable, high-quality solar cell and module manufacturing
This manufacturing execution system is engineered for ingot, wafer and high-volume solar cell and module production.
NORD extends IE5+ synchronous motor line with new 112 frame size
The new SK 112 motor size extends the power of compact IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors to 15.0 hp.
Swallowable 3D-printed robot could revolutionize gastrointestinal procedures
The new capsule robots developed for medical applications can reportedly be swallowed by patients and steered using magnetic fields.
Subsea valve performance: Sealing, reliability and operation at extreme depths
In subsea systems, valve failure can lead to loss of containment, environmental pollution, safety hazards, production stoppages and costly intervention campaigns.
New CLC series: Compact open-frame servo drives
The series includes three sizes with rated currents of 3 A, 6 A and 15 A and is suitable for both stepper motors and BLDC motors.
Solving multimodal medical device design challenges
Unlike single-purpose devices, multimodal platforms require a design capable of managing disparate hardware requirements for signal acquisition while ensuring all data is successfully funneled to a central processing unit for aggregation.
Video: Ready for Waymo? Here’s a first-hand ride in an AV taxi
Regular GS contributor Tyler Gleckler videos his own experience getting around Phoenix in a Waymo, one of the world's first commerical robo-taxi services.
The road to vehicle durability test and analysis process optimization
This unified approach to durability testing and simulation was implemented by automaker Renault.
Lock it or lose it: Manufacturing tech to soften the shakes
While still a popular thread-freezing solution today, lock nuts are no longer the de facto choice when working with fasteners on high-vibration systems.
The printer for the smallest details
Motors, encoders and other components from FAULHABER propel this printer to yield objects visible only under a scanning electron microscope.
X-365 Precision XY Gantry System offers configurable, affordable motion for high-throughput, high-accuracy applications
