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 ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

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 ...

Stepper motor linear actuators provide thrust along a linear axis but cannot tolerate side loading. Supplemental guidance is needed to protect against external forces impacting the linear motion of ...

This system combines many of Haydon Kerk's patented motion technologies into a single integrated system. The RGS® brand linear rail will come preassembled with the IDEA™ programmable actuator, greatly ...
