Flat and cylindrical grinding are one of the core competencies of PM. These images were recently taken in one of the grinding shops. These rails are type O which will be combined with N-type rails and used with needle roller cages as shown in the last images. Read more [Picture source: PM on linkedin.com]

In the video, needle roller guides are being used in both the vertical and horizontal axes of a gear hobbing machine. This machine is used for manufacturing gears in industries that require exceptional precision, such as the watch industry is requesting.

This video shows the assembly of high-precision miniature slides for use in robotic surgery also called robot-assisted surgery. They require high precision, low friction, and smooth running.

What sets us apart is our vertical integration production model. We produce the mechanical parts in-house, from the small linear and rotary guides, mounting plates, to the large machine frames for the custom positioning systems. This means we have full control over the quality and can ensure that every part is made to perfection. Read more

Positioning stages are motion solutions, which include precision linear guides, motors, and positioning sensors. These stages are designed for customer-specific applications. They have tight tolerances on specifications such as flatness and straightness of movement, repeatability, stability, and move and settle times. Each application has its unique requirements which require customer-specific solutions. On this page, we present examples of customized motion solutions and their applications.

Positioning stage parts are being manufactured at this 5-axis horizontal milling machine. For high productivity, the machine is equipped with an automated loading system for larger and smaller series. Automation drives the trend of digital production in all areas at our advanced manufacturing facility. These in-house competencies make us a preferred partner for the most challenging requirements for high-precision positioning stages and advanced motion systems. Watch the video

Typical applications of PM’s rotary bearing solutions are aircraft laser optics, cameras in unmanned drones, robotic vehicles, and radar systems. Watch the video

The slide consists of table parts of different lengths. The small distance between the upper and base parts protects the inside, the linear bearing, from contamination.
The linear bearing consists of the anti-friction cross roller guide RSD. The guide is pre-loaded, allowing the slide to move without clearance and with repeatable precision. Learn more

The cross-roller linear guide consists of 2 pairs of two rails with a roller cage in between. The rollers in the cage are used to transport the load while minimizing wear and friction. You can see a brief explanation in the video.

The aerospace industry is known for its critical parts. Zero failure and strict tolerances. We designed high-precision positioning stages for use in coordinate measuring machines. They are used for optical and tactile measurements in the aerospace industry. Read more and watch the video

Our cross-roller linear guideway set RNG with anti-cage creep technology (ACC) prevent cage creeping for highly dynamic or vertical applications. They offer high load capacity and stiffness in all directions within a very compact, reduced mass design. The cage control mechanism is a strong and reliable design solution compact enough to fit within the inside geometry of the cross-roller guide, to avoid cage creep. Read more

Piezo stages are part of the direct drive family of linear motion stages. This includes linear motors, shaft motor and stages with voice coil motors. The drive mechanism in each of these motors is free of mechanical rolling or sliding elements, offering long life and minimum wear. PM designs customised positioning stages with different drive mechanisms for various applications and markets. Read more
