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 ...

When a body or object moves in a circle, it is said to be in a circular motion. That is we can say that motion in a circle is a circular motion. When a body or object moves along a circular path, then ...

Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...

Roller-pinion systems are a better option than rack and pinions where accuracy and a minimum of friction are important. • Roller pinions can provide accurate positioning up to ±30 µm (±0.00118 in.) • ...
