Animatics buys UK's Harmonic Linear Drive

摘要

THE CALIFORNIAN integrated motors specialist Animatics has bought Stafford-based Harmonic Linear Drive for an undisclosed sum. HLD has developed a linear belt actuator that circulates the belt in an unusual way, resulting in a gearing reduction of up to 40:1 without a gearhead. This reduction is achieved without introducing backlash and is resistant to back-drive, eliminating the need for a brake in most vertical applications.
