Linear motor stage offers long travel, nanometer resolution
The new V-417.336025E1 long travel linear motor stage from PI (Physik Instrumente) features travel length of 32 in. (813 mm). The direct-drive stage achieves high velocities to 79 in./sec (2 m/sec) based on a direct drive ironless linear servo motor. High accuracy, repeatability, and functionality are guaranteed by an integrated absolute-measuring linear position encoder featuring […]
Ferrites snap onto cables to suppress EMC
STAR-TEC, the patented snap ferrite (with key) for supplementary interference suppression on the cable, is a classic in the Würth Elektronik eiSos program. The STAR-TEC product family has now been extended with three additional versions for cables of diameters from 12 to 25 mm. The EMC ferrites serve for supplementary interference suppression in the 1 […]
