When designing for linear motion applications, it's often better to choose a linear motor over a rotary servomotor and rotary-to-linear conversion components. When designing for linear motion ...

The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...

Lead screws are commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and often provide actuation to a set of linear bearings. Download this Tech Talk for insight into different lead screw ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

Barnstaple, England-Engineers use ball screws when they want efficient, reliable, and repeatable conversion of rotary to linear motion-characteristics that have made ball screws standard in a wide ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...

They carry loads at speeds up to 70 inches per second and are designed for horizontal or vertical applications. Ideal for positioning operations in all types of machinery, Roh'lix is often a less ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...

Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...
