Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Linear motion is used in a wide variety of applications and industries. Engineers have used many approaches, technologies, and components to consider when designing linear motion subsystems. Read more ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Op amps are the basic building blocks for much of linear circuit design. You probably learned about them in college and even designed some products containing an op amp. As an electronic engineer, you ...

For Hackers, rapid prototyping is made easier using basic building blocks such as the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and the huge variety of add on shields for home brew projects. But we don’t see too many ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...
