A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide ... This device can be run using a standard two-axis stepper motor driver. Performance can be enhanced using chopper and ...

Every degree of linear or rotary motion on a machine is called an axis. Each axis may operate independently, or many axes may need to be closely coordinated. Think of a robotic arm with four rotary ...

Repeatability relates to how precisely a linear-motion system ... to the machine axis can also improve positioning accuracy. This can be done indirectly using a rotary encoder or directly using ...

But the concept also holds in the design of motion systems ... sort of improvements along the “linear axis” that they’ve become accustomed to on the “rotary axis.” ...

L-511 linear micropositioning stage are designed for applications requiring minimum incremental motion down to 20 nanometers, ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic ... shafts into the smooth linear motion needed for each axis. Hobby-grade machines are as likely as not to use pulleys ...

Linear motion is when an object moves in one direction along the same axis without changing directions ... used in a mechanical system to change rotary motion into linear motion.

That can be done for linear axes, and for combinations with rotary axes — a difficult task for a controller, especially when heavy workpieces are tilted. The R-test has two primary purposes: As a ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application ...

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 ...
