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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When it comes to linear motion, engineers often face two choices: voice-coil actuators (VCAs) or solenoids. Both are ...

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 ...

Beamline diagnostics are an essential part of any particle accelerator, used to measure and monitor the properties of the particle beam itself. Within these diagnostic systems, precise linear motion ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Kia has been granted a patent for a railess variable seatback type rear seat. The innovative design includes a linear movement device, sliding movement device, and reclining angle change device to ...
