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, printing ...

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 use ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...

One of the most common motion applications in automated machinery is linear motion due to its precision capabilities. Guide wheels are often critical to the dependability of such systems, especially ...

Yamaha Motor has been granted a patent for a linear conveyor system that includes a transfer slider, a frame with a rail for the slider to move along, and two support members. The system also features ...
