Simplicity linear plain bearings exhibit real benefits, when compared to other styles of linear bearings; such as the self-lubricating quality of the bearing’s Frelon liner, as well as the wiping action on the shaft which enables smooth linear motion.

In a bin-picking demonstration, Kuka Robotics showed the capability of its KR Cybertech Nano robot for efficiently extracting items from boxes/containers within a Technica cell during the ProMat 2023 manufacturing, distribution and supply chain equipment and systems show at McCormick Place in Chicago. The bin-picking cell as a solution fulfils industrial demand related to removing parts from containers or bins as well as bags, sacks, cartons, boxes and totes and features artificial vision to identify the parts to be removed and robotics for handling.

Bonfiglioli S.p.A, global leader in the market of drives for industrial automation, wind generators and mobile machinery in the construction, earthmoving and intralogistics sectors, following the communication released on February 7, 2023, is proud to announce that it completed the 100% acquisition of the share capital of Selcom Group. 

PTE will feature a variety of new component technologies online for bearings, motors, couplings, brakes, gear drives, and motion control systems leading up to Hannover Messe 2023 in Germany. Here is a preview of some couplings suppliers to check out if you're planning on attending the event online or in-person in April.

The HTB electric brake from Ringfeder features a multiple floating disc design that disengages when power is applied to the brake coil and engages when that power is removed. It is a cost-effective solution when you need extremely high torque in a very compact package.

Optibelt GmbH has been honored by the European Power Transmission Distributors Association (EPTDA) for its long-standing membership.

The story of PBC Linear begins with an innovative solution to a common issue with linear ball bearings. The result is the creation and eventual patent for the iconic red Simplicity bearing. During the last four decades, that successful plain bearing design has spurred innovation and a substantial portfolio of linear motion products and automation processes that help simplify customer applications and reduce costs.

Sumitomo Drive Technologies, together with Invertek Drives and Lafert Group, will be presenting its complete drive solutions for automation and Industry 4.0 at Hannover Messe 2023. From April 17 to 21, visitors to Hall 6, Booth B25 will learn how they can use energy-efficient drive solutions to meet their sustainability goals while also boosting their competitiveness.

Showcasing its engineering capabilities in e-mobility technology, power density optimization and mechatronics as well as state-of-the-art bearings for off-road vehicles, conveyor systems and vibratory applications, global industrial and automotive supplier Schaeffler is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of advanced solutions for the construction and aggregates industries at the 2023 CONEXPO-CON/AGG trade show in Las Vegas.
