You may have heard the terms “linear shaft”, “post”, and “rotary shaft” before, but what are the differences between these terms, and which applications should you use them in? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Linear shafts, posts, and rotary ...
Whether you’re building a new machine or considering making modifications on an existing machine, engineering effort, cost and time are all factors that should be heavily considered before beginning any new project. Why not take a cue from some of ...
Since there are a variety of environments and application requirements, linear bushings and shafts must accommodate for such needs. In this post, we will display the different material types and application specifications they can be applied to. Sliding guide components ...
The relatively new and sometimes confusing world of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) opens up a whole new world of ways for engineers to control the geometry of everything from every day parts to complicated geometric surfaces. GD&T allows the ...
Engineering Fits It seems like even the most basic engineering design decisions can be exceedingly difficult and complex. Almost every mechanical system involves some sort of hole/shaft joint, and an innumerable amount of diverse fits may be specified depending on ...
Linear motion products are the most commonly used motion elements in the automation of transfer, locating, and assembly machinery. Here, three types of linear guides, Linear Bushing, Slide Guide, and Oil Free Bushing will be compared and explained as we ...
Question: Dear MISUMI Engineering Team: We are currently building a machine that has several timing shafts that are driven by spur gears, but are having problems determining the correct spacing between the shafts. The shafts are held by bearings mounted ...
