Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Design engineers that want to ensure their high-precision linear motion systems are made to last can get a video lesson from Thomson Industries. The company, which supplies mechanical motion solutions ...

Linear motion guideways constitute the backbone of many precision engineering applications, enabling constraint and guidance of moving components with high accuracy. Recent advancements have focused ...

Brian Burke of Bishop-Wisecarver explains why guide wheels are often used as a component of linear motion systems in automated machinery and why they're considered critical to the dependability of ...

By adding Thomson actuators, ball screws and linear guides to our portfolio, we’re giving engineers greater flexibility in design and a reliable route to modern, efficient motion control solutions.
