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 ...

Burke said the linear guide wheels and tracks that Bishop-Wisecarver supplies are assembled onto this machine frame to provide motion for the moving elements of the machine. With so many possible ...

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 ...

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 ...

From reciprocating linear motion (like a woodpecker’s movement) to the windscreen wiper and lifting geared mechanisms, each section offers a deep dive into the mechanics.
