The SKR-type LM guide actuator with Caged Ball Technology is a compact actuator that places a nut block(s) that integrates an LM block and ball screw nut onto the inside of the LM rail of a U-shaped cross-sectional form. Moreover, the addition of the LM guide and ball screw sections with Caged Ball Technology allows […]

Actuator Solutions for Solar Tracker Movement
A solar tracking system is a device for orienting a solar panel, or concentrating a solar reflector or lens, towards the sun. To keep up with other green energies, the solar cell market has to be as efficient as possible, and there are two main ways to make the solar cells more efficient, one is […]
Hydraulic Devices Help Solar Collectors Track Sun
Hydraulic actuator devices rotate and tilt solar collector assemblies as they track the sunโs motion each day through the desert sky from the new Nevada Solar One power plantโa 64 MW solar energy field spanning more than 300 acres. The actuators also control minor adjustments to the position of the arrays to compensate for the […]

Single Lumen Tubing from Precision Extrusion
Single-Lumen tubing has a single channel running through its interior. Single lumen tubing has an Outer Diameter (OD), an Inner Diameter (ID), and a wall thickness between the ID and the OD. We can extrude single lumen tubing with OD’s as large as .5″, ID’s as small as .002″, and walls as thin as .002″. […]
Composite Hoses offer Chemical Compatibility
Chemical compatibility offered by contemporary materials make new composite hoses ideal for transfer of a wide range of chemical and petroleum products. For example, non-polar polypropylene resists polar fluids such as methanol and sulfuric acid, and polar polyester resists non-polar fluids such as gasoline or aromatic fluids. Composite hoses, consisting of multiple layers of thermoplastic […]
Push-fit Tubing Replaces Welding
Not much has changed in industrial tube fitting design in the last 50 years,โ said Parker Instrumentationโs Kevin Ballard. Until recently, shipbuilders were often locked into using welded tube fittings in applications requiring leak protection above approximately 6,000 psi (413 bar). The multiple profiles mean that each sealing point bears less pressure than a traditional […]
Lightweight Polyethylene Tubing
Linear, low-density formula polyethylene tubing is lightweight, flexible, and chemically inert, forming a good barrier to gases, vapors, and moisture. It has no transfer of odor or taste to critical streams and is nearly resistant to stress cracking. The tubing is durable and flexible at temperature below 0ยฐ. Co-extruded, polyethylene-lined EVA shares the properties of […]
