 | HRG Miniature Roller Type LM Guide
The HRG from THK is an LM Guide that uses rollers for the rolling elements. As the smallest roller type guides, the HRG8, 10, and 12 achieve higher rigidity and a longer service life than other LM Guide models of similar size. It can handle loads applied from four directions. The HRG can be used in a variety of mounting orientations (wall-mounted, horizontal, inverted, and vertical), making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

 | Torque transducers and test machinery use Zero-Max CD Couplings
Torque transducers and test machinery experience extreme demands, including high torque loads and high operating speeds that cause stress on connected components. To assure these systems generate accurate test data, system designers specify CD Couplings from Zero-Max. Using Zero-Max's proprietary Composite Disc-Pack (CD), CD Couplings provide the ideal combination of high torque capacity, high torsional stiffness, and low reaction loads under misalignment.

 | The new reliable actuator for heavy loads
Bosch Rexroth's electromechanical cylinders (EMCs) are now available in a high-force, high-precision, low-maintenance version: the EMC-HP. Designed for loads up to 100 kN, the new actuators are robust and compact. Based on the reliable planetary screw drive, users will benefit from impressive continuous power -- even under harsh conditions -- thanks to both the new oil-bath lubrication and optional water cooling directly on the screw itself. A fully digital process, from selection to ordering, shortens engineering time.
