  • Publication number: 20210252660
    Abstract: In a quick measurement module provided by the present invention, a first distance sensing unit and a second distance sensing unit are provided individually on a movable seat, so that when the movable seat is displaced along a linear shifting axis, the first distance sensing unit senses the distance from the first reference plane, and meanwhile, the second distance sensing unit senses the distance from the second reference plane, so as to sense the linearity accuracy in movement of the movable seat with respect to the first reference plane and the second reference plane. The first reference plane and the second reference plane are spaced apart by an angle other than a right angle, so that the linearity accuracy in movement in the two different planes, such as the horizontal linearity accuracy and vertical linearity accuracy, of the movable seat can be obtained through sensing.

  • Patent number: 9945457
    Abstract: A linear rotary mechanism includes: a pair of elongated guide rails in parallel to each other: a linear motor having a tubular primary side slidably disposed on the guide rails and a shaft-shaped secondary side coaxially extending into an internal hole of the tubular primary side, the shaft-shaped secondary side being axially linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side; and a rotary motor fixedly disposed on the guide rails and connected with one end of the shaft-shaped secondary side. Accordingly, the rotary motor is linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side in synchronism with the shaft-shaped secondary side and the guide rails.

  • Publication number: 20110262058
    Abstract: An air-bearing slide platform having a positioning module includes: at least one slide guide, a carrier mounted on the slide guide, at least one first air bearing provided between an upper surface of the slide guide and the carrier, and the positioning module provided on the slide platform. The air-bearing slide platform is characterized in that the positioning module includes a pair of ramps formed at two lower sides of the slide guide, and at least one second air bearing provided between two extended lower sides of the carrier and the ramps.

  • Publication number: 20090115261
    Abstract: An air floating linear motor comprises a fixed part and a movable part. The movable part floats above the fixed part. The movable moves with respect to the fixed part by the magnetic interaction. The fixed part is disposed with a receiving portion for assembling an external device such as a position feedback device or a travel protection device, etc. Therefore, the air floating linear motor is much more simplified and convenient in fabrication and installation.

  • Patent number: 5909965
    Abstract: A linear recirculation path unit for a roller bearing includes a linear loading passage, a linear unloading passage, and two direction reversing passages connected to the ends of the linear passages. Instead of simply designing the reversing passages so that the slopes or tangents of the linear and reversing passages are continuous at the connecting points, the reversing passages are arranged so that not only the slopes but also the curvatures of the linear and reversing passages vary continuously throughout the recirculation path, thereby reducing centrifugal acceleration of the rolling elements in the path, with consequent reductions in impact forces on walls of the passages, sliding function, and vibration induced noises.
