WOLFSCHLUGEN, GERMANY – Thomson, a provider of
innovative linear motion and ?guidance systems, presents its new
"Solution Center". The website
http://www.thomsonlinear.com/solution_center provides developers,
designers and end users of linear guidance and motion systems with an
interactive online knowledge base that offers sound technical answers to
their many questions in and around the topic of "linear motion". The
subjects covered include the selection, deployments options,
installation, maintenance and general use of linear motion components
and systems. Using an intuitive search mask, users can enter any terms
pertaining to their question and also select the product category in
which they would like to search for answers. The results found can then
be sorted by relevance, date posted or frequency of use by other users.
For example, if "load" is entered as a search term, the system will
provide answers to questions such as: "Can ball screws handle radial
loads?" or "Can I operate an actuator above its rated load?"
Alternatively, questions and answers can also be found based on
predetermined product categories. If the knowledge base search fails to
provide answers to a certain issue, users can also enter indirect
questions, which are then processed as quickly as possible by members of
the Thomson Support Team.
The product categories covered by the Solution Center include
linear actuators, high-precision linear actuators, clutches and brakes,
linear bearings, ball and lead screws, special shafts, precision balls,
transmissions, linear guides and slide tables, as well as positioning
units. The specially compiled contents are always kept up-to-date and
continuously extended to include new findings and information – as a way
of providing the best possible answers to the many, diverse questions
that arise among users seeking to optimize the performance of these
mechanical and electromechanical motion solutions.
