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 ...

Rolling-ring mechanical drives are simple, efficient, robust, and can eliminate the need for electronic controls. Bob Eisele, Amacoil Inc., Aston, Pa. Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that ...

Although we’re living in the twenty-first century, there are still many dangers in our workplaces. For certain industries, such as the construction, manufacturing and industrial industries, the risks ...

(Nanowerk News) Piezo motors provide excellent dynamic properties, such as high acceleration and fast start/stop behavior, along with nanometer precision and stability. In contrast to traditional ...

Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...

Nature leads the way when it comes to motors on a molecular scale. But chemists are in hot pursuit, designing controllable structures that can mimic muscles or rotary motors. If you could build a ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...
