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 ...

Machines that turn, eject, cut, and spray rely on efficient, automatically reversing linear motion. Rolling-ring linear drives are commonly used in these types of applications because they eliminate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Every once in a while we stumble across something so simple yet so clever that we just have to call it out. This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, ...
