Mikroniek June 2025: Bearing Technology

The June issue of Mikroniek is devoted to the theme of Bearing Technology. The main theme article describes the design of a superconducting voice-coil actuator with spiral diaphragm flexures for simple and compact linear-motion guidance.


Another big theme feature is the report of the Gas Bearing Workshop 2025, co-hosted by DSPE, providing a global overview of gas-bearing developments. Also in this issue, an extensive preview of the DSPE Conference on Precision Mechatronics 2025 and an interview with DSPE president Hans Krikhaar about his microcredentials initiative.
