Sonair’s ADAR One 3D ultrasonic sensor provides spatial awareness for robotic systems, enabling detection of people and obstacles across multiple heights in shared work environments. Sonair has ...
For centuries, the conventional lead screw (threaded shaft and nut) was the primary mechanism for converting rotary motion to linear motion. They were inexpensive to manufacture and reliable. Ball ...
Electronic overload protection has long been employed on industrial electric motors. In some cases, this internal protection may serve as a viable torque limiting mechanism. Many applications, however ...
Metal gears fail for numerous reasons, some, in part, independent from the gears themselves. Assessing gear damage can be a challenge, especially in industrial equipment. Unlike lab tests designed to ...
Flexible shafts are mechanical power-transmission devices used to transmit rotary motion through bends and curves. They can be routed over, under, and around obstacles which would be otherwise ...
