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 ...

Understanding design and performance characteristics can help machine and system designers select the best products to satisfy requirements of the machines they are building. Semiconductor ...

There are many industrial applications requiring linear motion, and for most applications, conventional belt or screw drives do just fine. But when loads need to move long distances (more than 40 ft), ...
