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 ...

MISUMI Automation helps us examine different examples of mechanisms that convert rotary motion to linear motion along with industry applications. A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic ... at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism that converts the rotation of the the motor ...

It’s all too common to forget about abbe errors when designing linear positioning systems. An ounce of prevention, though, can be better than a pound of cure. Each component in a system imposes ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to ... The Size 14 actuator simplifies bulky and complex mechanisms. The new design has a compact package length, maximizing the linear ...

The LSM’s lead screw and nut mechanism is limited to a linear motion of a few millimeters per second, and requires regular lubrication to keep parts running smoothly. Keen to push performance to a new ...

Dive into the world of mechanical principles demonstrated with LEGO, featuring unique mechanisms like the chain fountain, Geneva drive, and more. Watch as a weird track undulating machine comes to ...
