Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...

MISUMI Automation helps us examine different examples of mechanisms that convert rotary motion to linear motion along with industry applications. A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which ...

Our bodies look symmetrical, but most internal organs are asymmetric in shape or in position. In mouse embryos, a model animal that is closest to humans, cell groups, which are a source of organs, are ...

Abstract: To satisfy the complex surface machining requirement for the high attitude adjustment capability of the in-situ machining mechanism, this paper carries out the topology synthesis of the ...

[2n2r5] posted up a mechanism that we’d never seen before — a threadless ballscrew that turns rotational into linear motion with no backlash. It works by pressing the edge of three bearings fairly ...

Currently, various humanoid robot products have multiple solutions for actuator technology, and the choice of different solutions is often a trade-off between application scenarios and manufacturing ...

Abstract: This paper reports a new mechanism of a wheeled robot moving by the single actuator. This mechanism is inspired by the two-wheeled skateboard, or snakeboard. There, the control inputs are ...

A cam is a rotating piece that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion in the follower. Think of it like a spinning shape pushing something up and down. Eccentric/off centre cam: this is the ...
