AUBURN, Mass., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PI (Physik Instrumente), a leader in precision motion control, has introduced the A-361 air-bearing XY-rotation stage, a compact nanopositioning platform ...

Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

(Nanowerk News) The number of active satellites in space keeps growing at an accelerated pace. In July, Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics estimated ...

As you can see in Figure 15-7, wheel bearings usually come in pairs of inner and outer bearings. They allow your wheels to turn freely over thousands of miles by cushioning the contact between the ...

Seeing a heavy load slide around on nearly frictionless air bearings is pretty cool; it’s a little like how the puck levitates on an air hockey table. Commercial air bearings are available, of course, ...
