What is linear motion technology?

The area of engineering and technology focused on managing, directing, and utilizing objects or systems in a linear or straight-line motion is known as linear motion technology. Linear motion technology involves creating and using a variety of mechanisms, components, and systems to achieve accurate and controlled motion in a straight line.

What industries use linear motion?

Linear motion technology is utilized in various fields and industries, such as robotics, manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and others. This technology is designed to move objects or systems accurately, quickly, and repeatedly along a linear path. Linear actuators, linear stages, linear bearings, and linear guides are some of the commonly used examples of this technology.

Some industries that benefit from linear motion systems:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Building automation
• Defense
• Facility maintenance
• Food & beverage
