Suspension

The MS 271 military-standard universal joints meet or exceed military specification MIL-J-6193.

If all machines had a uniform weight distribution and no moving horizontal parts, conventional, constant-stiffness, vibration isolators would keep the equipment level.

Customized machined springs are available in a variety of configurations and materials.

These linear springs keep the same spring rate in both tension and compression. The spring rate can be predicted within +/-1% before any parts are made.

The KMotion motion-control board combines a 600-Mflop DSP, an output stage with power amps, USB connections, and a PC-based development environment.

Universal joints and driveshaft assemblies are for steering and shift linkages in race cars, boats, industrial vehicles, and other applications.

Compression/extension "machined" springs incorporate multiple features into a single component.

SC 300-HC High-Cycle industrial shock absorbers are suited for packaging-industry equipment and rotary actuators.

The 8001 Series vibration isolation platforms use microprocessor-controlled active feedback to cancel vibrations dynamically in all six translational and rotational modes.

Lotus Engineering Suspension Analysis (LSA), the commercial version of software from Lotus Engineering in the U.K., quickly creates 2D and 3D kinematic models of standard suspensions using templates.

Engineers are designing material-handling and assembly machines that run faster, change loads more often, and are expected to last longer.

Replacing point contacts with line contacts boosts load capacity of kinematic mounts.

They have been called the "last frontier" in the increasingly regulated sport of NASCAR racing. What's all the fuss about? Shock absorbers.

Over the past few years, footwear manufacturers have been trying to design a shoe that reduces the impacts associated with running by using soft foams and viscous gels.

Spring-loaded, steel-side thrust pins hold, position, and clamp workpieces.
