A Linear Bush is a linear guide to be used in combination with a LM cylindrical shaft. It allows makes linear movements with a minimum of frictional resistance to provide highly accurate and precise movement.

Micro linear actuators are designed to provide motion in a small package. Over 200 models from 10mm to 300mm stroke and options of limit switch, potentiometer or R/C control, there is a wide range to cover most applications. Brushed DC or stepper motor powered.

Sugatsune's MLG, LGB, and MRS linear guide rails are precision-engineered solutions designed to deliver smooth, stable, and compact linear motion across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. The MLG series, featuring a unique "multi-roller" mechanism, utilises aluminium alloy rails with anodised silver finish and is compatible with MLG-20C guide blocks. These guides support side, vertical, or horizontal mounting and are ideal for applications requiring high-precision movement, such as food processing equipment, vending machines, and medical devices. The MLGX25 models, constructed from 304 stainless steel, incorporate the innovative "Dual-X" design, facilitating loads up to 120 N (27 lbs) in any orientation and maintaining consistent movement even under moment loads. They are suitable for automated machinery, robotics, and analytical equipment, and have passed rigorous 500,000 cycle tests to ensure durability. The LGB series offers compact linear guides made from materials like polyacetal and stainless steel, with dimensions such as 11 mm width and 6 mm height, making them suitable for space-constrained applications. These guides are commonly used in precision instruments and small-scale automation systems. The MRS series, including models like the MRS40-400, provides ultra-miniature linear guides with a 40 mm width, ideal for applications requiring minimal installation space without compromising performance. Sugatsune's diverse range of linear guide rails ensures that designers and engineers can select the appropriate solution to meet specific load capacities, environmental conditions, and spatial constraints across various industries.

The humble solenoid coil is in its basic form a simple affair – yet through various design principles and ancillary components they can be adapted to perform many tasks. Reversible, latching, linear, bistable are all terms for solenoid design and performance characteristics. They can be used to simply operate a switch with an impulse of voltage and return when the voltage is removed, right through to 3 position twin coil solenoids used for positioning with detent (holding) force. Solenoids are also used in electromagnetic locks and security bolts. These can be power to lock or unlock and feature strong mounting options for security applications. A natural adoption of the technology is holding electromagnets. These are again designed on the solenoid principles and allow a magnet to hold a mass fastened, closed or indeed open with or without voltage as required. The many options from NAFSA can be found below, with typical applications being;

• Door locking and access control - electromagnet to hold door open or closed.
• Food and medical machinery - solenoids as locking pins once a section is in place.
• Factory automation - machine part holding electromagnets.
• Vending machines - solenoids to open or lock access points, move vending flaps and guides.
• Lifts and elevators - locking bolts as security and safety features.
• Agricultural machinery - solenoid to open / close dispensing valves on casting machinery.
• Automotive industry - multiple options for solenoid locks, holding magnets to lock doors.

Based on standard linear solenoids, the electrical locking bolts feature a modified end cap to offer greater resistance to side loads from external sources, making them ideal for security applications. In linear solenoids the stroke from the initial position to the end of stroke is made by an electromagnetic force that is created when a voltage is applied to the solenoid. To return to the initial position, external forces or a spring mounted in the solenoid are normally used.
