Core offering

Bell-Everman designs and manufactures precision linear and rotary positioning systems, belt-driven actuators, and gantry robots for industrial automation. The company sells both standardized product families (e.g., ServoBelt Linear, SBR, DDT) and custom-engineered motion control solutions integrated with customer controls.

Product overview

Bell-Everman offers a platform of precision motion control technologies consisting of core linear and rotary positioning products plus add-on modules and engineering services. The core product family includes ServoBelt Linear and Rotary stages (belt-driven with zero backlash), Direct Drive Theta (DDT) rotary stages for ultra-precision applications, and LowBoy linear stages. Add-on modules include the ServoNut Power Module (ball screw actuator), ServoBelt RA Actuator, KAOS OEM linear positioning, SLS Sealed Linear Stages for harsh environments, and Robot Transfer Units. Services include Engineered Solutions (custom multi-axis system design and build) and Controls Integration. The product architecture is designed for customization with controls development integrated across all platforms.
