Some of the surest, time-tested methods of linear actuation are screw drives. Whether lead- or ball- or roller screws, screw actuation remains a large part of the linear actuation equation, thanks to their reliability, accuracy, and relative simplicity of operation. Recently screw drive developments have included advances in materials as well as manufacturing methods leading […]

A number of trends continue to drive developments in screw actuators. For instance, developments in screw materials and manufacturing methods have boosted ball screw performance, leading to greater load densities with higher load capacities. On the design front, more designers/engineers are looking for customized designs, but screw manufacturers are also offering more integrated designs, which […]

Ball screw performance continues to improve, thanks to advancements in manufacturing methods and materials. Newer generations of ball screws have higher load capacities, which means they’re increasingly being used for applications with higher loads as well as more challenging environmental conditions. Hence, the rise in ball-screw-driven actuators replacing traditional fluid power actuation methods in some […]

Lift table skirting may be a practical method of guarding pinch point hazards to increase safety and comply with standard ISO14120 (“Safety of machinery – Guards”), yet some varieties of lift skirting provide little more than dust protection. Liftgard bellows completely enclose a scissors lift table to mitigate unintentional contact with pinch points. Dynatect’s manufacturing…

Dynatect introduces the ChemTank Cover, a corrosion-resistant chemical tank cover developed in response to the demand for convenient and space-saving options. The cover is designed to accommodate a wide range of tank applications including chemical and surface finishing, anodizing, etching, plating, cleaning and more. The cover system helps reduce heat-loss and evaporation. Its roll-up design…

Dynatect has launched a new CAD configurator, which allows users to download 3D models and get 24/7 instant access to a dynamic CAD and part number builder to simplify specification for its metal, plastic and hybrid cable carriers. Dynatect’s CAD interface supports formats for all major CAD systems and requires no registration or password. Designers […]

Dynatect has introduced the Gortrac Hybrid Carrier, a low-cost and high-performance solution to protect cables and hoses on moving equipment traveling more than 20 ft. For the second time in 2018, Dynatect has introduced a patented long travel design into an industry that has remained largely unchallenged by the status quo solution: a gliding plastic […]

With its new Gortrac Articulated Roller Support (ARS) long travel system, Dynatect’s latest cable carrier solution eliminates traditional guide troughs, reducing system weight and costs. The ARS responds to the needs of the crane, machine tool, and automation industries for long travel cable carrier solutions. It is intended for applications up to 300 ft and […]

Dynamic motion and protection company Dynatect introduces the new Gortite® VF Door included in a new line of Automated Machine Safety Doors. The Vertical Fabric door responds to the automation industry’s need for machine guarding doors to keep hazardous processes like robotic welding separate from people, equipment, and materials. This high-speed fabric roll-up door is…

Cable carriers are a practical and innovative way to guide and protect cables and hoses in dynamic applications. Whether you require a simple, off-the-shelf system, or have an application requiring a more sophisticated and complex solution, there are steps that can be taken in the design phase that can significantly improve performance, reduce costs and…
