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, printing ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

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 ...

Bell-Everman's new ServoSpline positioning stage offers a unique drive mechanism that provides backlash-free motion and simplified control. Bell-Everman's new ServoSpline positioning stage offers a ...

Track-roller linear guides and how they compare to other linear rails, slides, and ways to facilitate single and multi-axis linear motion — and the disparate ways these linear components integrate ...

This platform runs on a rolling ring drive and reciprocates automatically without motor reversal. Linear speed can be adjusted on the fly with a control knob on the assembly, without changing speed or ...

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 ...

Hephaist Co., Ltd. engages in the manufacture and sale of precision equipment such as linear motion mechanisms, specializing in linear motion bearings and linear bush. It operates through the ...
