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 ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

Yamaha Motor has been granted a patent for a linear conveyor system that includes a transfer slider, a frame with a rail for the slider to move along, and two support members. The system also features ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...
