Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Bearings housed in carriages and tables can ride on round shafts or square profile rails. Bearings housed in carriages and tables can ride on round shafts or square profile rails. We'll review the ...

Linear motion guideways constitute the backbone of many precision engineering applications, enabling constraint and guidance of moving components with high accuracy. Recent advancements have focused ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a premier manufacturer of engineered linear motion products, offers the dual carriage RGS04 motorized linear rail assembly. This system combines many of Haydon Kerk's ...

The EZ Limo series of linear motion products is designed to combine advanced step motor functionality with sophisticated motion control features. EZ Limo uses a stepping motor with built-in feedback ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...
