The growing demand for automation in major packages is projected to propel the global linear motion system market forward. For example, Rockwell Automation will offer the iTRAK 5730 small-frame intelligent track system (Linear Motion Control system) for food and beverage packaging in June 2020. It has a minimum pitch of 50 mm, making it appropriate for main packaging applications such flow wrapping, end-load cartooning, and form-fill-and-seal pouching.
The global Linear Motion System Market is predicted to be worth $9.38 billion in 2021, with a CAGR of 8.1% between 2022 and 2030.
Major Players in the Linear Motion System Industry:
1. Hiwin Corporation: Hiwin Technologies Corp makes linear guideways for precision positioning, guiding, and measuring. Other goods include ball screws for industrial machines that convert rotary motion to linear motion, as well as linear actuators that use a gear system to convert motor-powered rotary motion to linear motion. Taiwan is Hiwin's primary market, followed by lesser markets in Germany, Japan, and the United States. Founded 1989.
2. Bosch Rexroth AG: Hydraulic filter and accumulator manufacturer. Fluid filters for hydraulic and lubricating oil systems are developed, manufactured, and sold by the company. Founded 1999. Ketsch's headquarters in Germany. Bosch Rexroth has completed the acquisition of HydraForce.
3. The Timken Company: Timken is a company that makes bearings, gear belts, and chain-related items. The company offers its bearing portfolio, which includes tapered, spherical, and cylindrical roller bearings, as well as thrust and ball bearings, to end users or directly to original equipment manufacturers through a network of authorised dealers. Headquarters are in North Canton, Ohio, USA. It was founded in 1899. American Roller Bearing Company (ARB), a North Carolina-based maker of industrial bearings, has been bought by The Timken Company, a global industrial leader in designed bearings and industrial motion products.
4. Rockwell Automation Inc.,: Rockwell Automation is the successor entity to Rockwell International, which broke off its former Rockwell Collins avionics segment in 2001. The company operates in three segments as of fiscal 2021: intelligent devices, software and control, and lifecycle services. Founded 1903. Headquartered in the United States.
5. Ewellix AB, THK Co. Ltd: Established in 2009. Headhunters in China.Developer of medical software platforms and information technology. The company uses the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to build smart platforms that allow medical institutions and patients to communicate openly and make diagnosis and treatment decisions online, allowing hospitals and medical institutions to provide faster, more efficient communication and medical services.
Definition: Linear motors produce motion directly, making the mechanical conversion of rotary to linear unnecessary.
