The Importance of Precision Shafting in Improving Linear Motion System Performance
February 21st, 2024 | Product News
When designing a linear motion system much of the focus is on the selection of the proper linear ball bearing, however, it is not the only element you must consider. In linear motion system engineering it is often said that "better shafts mean better linear motion performance."
Finding the Right Solution for Shock and Vibration Isolation
January 29th, 2024 | Product News
Vibration isolation mounts protect machinery by reducing the amplitude and frequency of vibrational waves. Applications such as large motors and industrial machines generate powerful vibrations and excessive noise when active. Those vibrations cause damage to the equipment and create unsafe working conditions.

RF and EMI/EMC Anechoic Testing Chambers – What Are They and How Do They Work?
October 18th, 2023 | Product News
The word ‘anechoic’ means simply ‘without echo’. An anechoic chamber is a box, chamber or room that is devoid of reflections from the walls, ceiling, or floor. If you’ve ever been in a large room and shouted ‘echo!’, you’ll know that you usually get some kind of reverberation where you hear your voice repeat a few times. To avoid this phenomena, anechoic chambers are lined on the inside with materials that are designed to completely absorb all sound waves thus eliminating any and all reflections.
