Read practical articles on actuator sizing, hydraulic conversion, linear bearing life and connected motion diagnostics.
A practical selection checklist for thomson linear bearings and thomson linear motion systems. Covers what a ball bearing really does, ac motor matching, and why we don't sell ball bearing casters.
Read MorePractical answers about Thomson linear motion systems, Saginaw linear actuators, single phase AC motors, servo motor gearboxes, and stepper motor selection—from someone who handled 200+ rush orders.
Continue ReadingAn applications engineer shares how a cheap hobby servo derailed a retrofit, and why he now turns to thomson-linear actuators and Century AC motors.
Continue ReadingA pre-engineered thomson linear actuator or a homemade axis with a century ac motor, mg995 servo motor, and loose linear shaft? Compare total cost, reliability, support, and integration.
Continue ReadingA hands-on checklist for engineers and buyers selecting linear motion components. Written by someone who made the mistakes so you don't have to.
Continue ReadingA procurement-focused guide to selecting thomson-linear components, including Thomson linear shafts, Thomson Saginaw linear actuators, NEMA17 stepper motors, crossed roller bearings, and understanding how VFD control motor speed without overspending.
Continue ReadingA procurement buyer explains what actually causes thrust bearing failures, when Thomson linear actuators and Thomson linear bearings are the right call, and why a brushless DC motor driver spec can make or break an electric actuator order.
Continue ReadingAfter years of sizing Thomson linear actuators, I have made enough motor mistakes to know what really matters. Here is why you should choose the motor before the actuator, and when a small servo motor, a single phase AC motor, or a stepper is the right call.
Continue ReadingA procurement administrator's perspective on sourcing linear actuators, ball screws, and thrust bearings, and why verifying engineering details at the manufacturer's official site beats chasing cheap part numbers.
Continue ReadingA practical quality checklist for engineers and buyers sourcing linear actuators, stepper motors, and bearings — covering source verification, spec measurement, and batch testing.
