Most industrial applications’ performance depends on the linear guide as one of the most fundamental frameworks of several industrial applications. Engineers know the importance of superior and ...

Summit Publishing blogger, Keith Campbell, reports on the importance of price versus performance when it comes to investing in new technology in his article “What is appropriate technology?” He makes ...

A comparison of the forward-biased safe-operating-area (FB-SOA) performance of one trench and one planar device of similar die size is presented. The results educate designers on issues concerning ...

Building a successful linear motion system starts with choosing the appropriate actuator. Between the different sizes, technologies, and qualities, hundreds of options exist. The trick is to winnow ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Fast comparators find their niche in linear applicationsComparators don’t “just compare” in the same way that op amps don’t “just amplify.” A collection of application circuits demonstrates just how ...
