A shaft used with a linear bearing should be made of steel that meets the ASTM-A-295, “Standard Specification for High-Carbon Ball and Roller Bearing Steel,” requirements.

Linear motors, like linear-shaft motors, are defined as synchronous motors. In effect, current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet that synchronizes to the magnetic field of the ...

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

However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple control afforded by an RC servo. The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion.

We admit that this project doesn’t have very many details available, but it was just too neat for us to pass up. It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] built after seeing a… ...

Discover how mechanical principles are demonstrated with LEGO, showcasing linear motion and various gear mechanisms. From reciprocating linear motion (like a woodpecker’s movement) to the ...

Linear Actuator: A device that converts various forms of energy into a rectilinear mechanical motion. Oscillating System: A system designed to produce recurrent, periodic motion around an ...

This project sponsored by Medtronic uses accelerometer feedback to interpret custom vibrational signals in order to determine the position of an internal component of a laparoscopic sealing device.

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 ...

Applications that require precise information on the linear or angular movement of an object rely on the accuracy of motion sensors within. Accelerometers and gyroscopes can be used to provide this ...
