How to Select a Clutch or Brake
Clutches and brakes are critical to motor driven servo drive systems, helping to transfer torque and stop rotational loads, respectively. However, it’s important to pick the right tool for the job, as each motion control system will require a different kind of clutch, brake, or combination, and that means keeping...

LOSTPED: An Easy Acronym for Specifying a Ball Screw
Ball screws are a great option when you need an actuator that will translate motion quickly, effectively, and efficiently. Ball screws can actually translate motion with an efficiency of over 90%; those are some serious energy savings! To work well, though, you need to select a ball screw that is...
