But if you’re designing a linear-motion system, you’ll have to consider structural support, guides, drives, seals, lubrication, and accessories between points A and B.

EGSM30 linear actuators from Exlar Corp., Chanhassen, Minn., were selected to fire locking pins to keep the elevators in position at each deck level.

Back in the day, engineers didn’t have many options for moving an object from one point to another in a straight line. These ...

BMG – in partnership with Rollon, specialises in the production and development of linear motion systems – delivering ...

New generation motion solutions The MLA (motorized linear actuator) and MEA (motorized electric actuator) series represent a new generation of compact linear motion solutions. Each actuator combines a ...

Lead screws are commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and often provide actuation to a set of linear bearings. Download this Tech Talk for insight into different lead screw ...

With rack and pinion steering, the rotation of the pinion causes linear motion of the rack, which turns the vehicle's wheels left or right. Rack and pinion systems are a common component in railways.

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 ...
