Slip rings are also referred to as rotary joints or electric rotary joints, they are small, compact devices making them suitable for a wide range of applications where space is restricted. They are also often selected because they are a good solution to avoid cable twisting. How Does a Slip Ring...

What is a Planetary Gearbox? A planetary gearbox is a specific type of gearbox. They are known for offering high precision and higher torque-to-volume ratio when compared to other types of gearbox. This makes them well suited to applications which involve; increasing torque, reducing speed,...

Linear actuators are available in various types. One of the main benefits of using a linear actuator over pneumatic or hydraulics is to allow the operator to have full control of the position and speed. They are also much more energy-efficient and often require very little to no maintenance. How...
