Garnering much attention these days are industrial robots and their integration of motion components and incorporation into workcells with other motion-based automated equipment. Such robotic ...

If you’ve ever sat in a racing simulator and felt the seat move, that’s motion feedback at work. One of the most important types of movement is called linear motion. It helps make the simulator feel ...

Abstract: This paper presents an initial formal review of the suitability of currently available actuation technologies for use in fully implantable medical devices, with a focus on applications ...

Linear brakes are mechanical devices on linear motion systems that hold loads stationary or are used as failsafe devices. Typically, an actuator (a linear motor, fluid-power cylinder, or ballscrew) ...

Changing linear pitch on Uhing rolling ring linear drives is now faster and easier using a lever control option on the drive unit. The pitch control lever permits manually setting and changing linear ...

The right positioning table and digital drive combination enables precision adjustments with fast response and settling times. As automated equipment in industrial, medical and life science markets ...

Cleanrooms play an essential role in contamination-sensitive applications such as semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceuticals, optics, medical devices/life sciences, and many more. Cleanrooms control ...

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 ...

Most assembly operations don’t require complex motion. A simple up-and-down or side-to-side move is all that’s required. A linear actuator might be used to: Extend and retract a dispensing valve or a ...
