AutomationDirect has added second generation (Gen 2) linear motion slide actuators to its SureMotion line of motion control products. The SureMotion lineup includes both motor-ready actuator ...

The equation of motion of a discrete linear system has the form of a second-order ordinary differential equation with three real and square coefficient matrices. It is shown that, for almost all ...

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 ...

Slide guides, also known as linear guides, are precise, linear bearings that use rolling elements, either balls or rollers, moving along two raceways to reduce friction and stick-slip to provide ...

One of the most misunderstood principles regarding linear bearings is something called the 2:1 Ratio. Understanding it will help engineers avoid the problem of stick-slip. Back in the 1980s, Pacific ...

Abstract: In direction of arrival (DOA) estimation exploiting array motions, conventional designs consider sparse arrays moving along or perpendicular to the array direction, and only the second-order ...
