Applications Miniature linear motion components are ideal for applications where precise movement of small loads is critical. In particular, they add value in instruments for medical diagnostics, test and measurement equipment, and engraving and printing, as well as a broad range of fluid pumping and pick-and-place applications. Fluid Pumping • Medical infusion pumps • Industrial fluid pumps • Lubrication pumps • Syringe pumps Fluid pumps benefit from the smooth, precise motion of Thomson miniature components. Motorized Lead Nut and Motorized Lead Screw Miniature Lead Screw Diagnostic and Life...

Miniature Components & Systems Applications Test and Measurement Equipment • Torque testers • Load and pull testers • Handheld devices Design iterations for testing and measurement devices allow for easier use, better quality and faster results. One example is a smaller footprint found in the handheld ear scanning device shown here. Smaller devices like this can benefit from Thomson miniature lead screws in their design application. Thomson precision ball splines simplify XYZ movement into linear and rotary motion, thereby reducing the number of parts and complexity required for picking up an...
