There are different types of linear actuators available, we have a wide range of different styles and configurations. Linear Actuator Types There are different types of linear actuator available. The types we have on offer at Heason are; Precision Ball Screw Actuators, Industrial Linear...

Motion control is everywhere around us and you will have encountered some motion control technology at some point in your life. What is Motion Control? Motion control is part of automation and involves moving and measuring individual parts of a larger machine or device in a very precise and...

Stepper Motors are also called a stepping motor, they are called this because they move in discrete “steps”. How do Stepper Motors Work? The inner workings of a stepper motor include a rotor. The rotor turns in steps – hence the name Stepper Motor. Round the outside of the...

Linear actuators are available in different styles and configurations this makes them suitable for many different applications in a wide range of industries. Linear actuators are fast becoming a vital device within motion control. Linear Actuators comprise of an AC or DC motor, gearing and a...

Planetary Gearboxes are a type of gearbox where the input and output both have the same centre of rotation. This means that the centre of the input gear revolves around the centre of the output gear and the input and output shafts are aligned. How Does a Planetary Gearbox Work? The alignment...

A gearbox can be described as a method of transferring rotational motion or energy from one device to another. We generally refer to our gear systems as reduction gears as we use them to reduce speed resulting in increased torque. Types of Gearbox At Heason, we mainly deal with three...
