Abstract: Remote center of motion (RCM) mechanisms are widely used in surgical robots to mechanically constrain the position of a certain point in the operation space. Examples of well-known RCM ...

Abstract: A trapezoid-type stick–slip piezoelectric linear actuator using a right circular flexure hinge mechanism was proposed, designed, fabricated, and tested with the aim of accomplishing linear ...

A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a rod. Figure A depicts a mechanism utilized as a ...

Track-roller linear guides and how they compare to other linear rails, slides, and ways to facilitate single and multi-axis linear motion — and the disparate ways these linear components integrate ...
