Armed with even with the most-sophisticated motion controller, engineers can still find it difficult to attain precise linear motion unless the mechanical components are appropriately designed for the ...

Customization of rotary and linear motion systems improves performance, reduces costs and simplifies complex applications in manufacturing and medical devices. Advances in smart, compact and ...

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 ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion (movement that goes round in a circle) into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines, printing ...

The Caroline Werner Gannett Project’s efforts to bring risk-taking thinkers in a wide variety of disciplines to RIT through its “Visionaries in Motion” series has been recognized by City Newspaper in ...
