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 ...

[2n2r5] posted up a mechanism that we’d never seen before — a threadless ballscrew that turns rotational into linear motion with no backlash. It works by pressing the edge of three bearings ...

This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example ... There’s clearly a long way to go to tighten things up, but the basic mechanism looks like a clear win to us. Hats off to [Nixieguy ...

Automation and mechanical motion systems have become integral to industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare.

Linear actuators are essential in modern automation. They enable precise linear motion in applications ranging from robotics ...
