Abstract: Mechanical linear actuators are employed extensively in various industrial applications where a linear motion is required. Typical linear mechanical actuators such as ball screws, chain ...

Rotary motors are the workhorses of industry, but their job would only be half done were it not for ball screws, lead screws, belt drives, and rack-and-pinion systems. Without these devices, industry ...

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 integration of rotary and linear motions within a single actuation system has emerged as a transformative development in modern electromechanical engineering. Rotary-linear actuators combine the ...

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 ...

What is a Linear Motor? A linear motor should be thought of as rotary electric motor that has been cut along a radial plane and unrolled. The resultant motor is a direct drive linear electric motor ...

A cam is a rotating piece that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion in the follower. Think of it like a spinning shape pushing something up and down. Eccentric/off centre cam: this is the ...
