A lot of projects require linear motion, but not all of them require high-accuracy linear slides and expensive ball screws. When just a little shove for a door or the ability to pop something up ou… ...

To maintain the high performance levels required from precision linear devices, users need to protect them from the contaminants that occur throughout the production processes. One solution is the ...

Rack-and-pinion drives, another type of linear motion device, get no respect. But they are perfectly capable of competing with the other two “stars” and have their own advantages.

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 ...

Discover how various linear motion mechanisms work together in a large machine to create seamless functionality. This video demonstrates the intricate design and engineering behind each mechanism ...

Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electroma… ...
