Understanding Linear Bearing Speed & Acceleration

June 15, 2017
Engineers focused on fast, light automation systems may pay too much attention to speed specs when acceleration is what really counts. Sponsored by Rollon
Bearing speed is rarely the limiting performance factor in today's motion applications, and speed doesn't tell us all that much as stand-alone value. Only when considered in the context of acceleration and the overall motion profile does speed become important. Find out why engineers focused on fast, light automation systems may pay too much attention to speed specs when acceleration is what really counts.
