How linear, rotary, reciprocating and oscillating motion are evolving as customization grows and new capabilities emerge.

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

Above: Test fixture to explore proof of concept idea of linear assessment using an accelerometer. This project sponsored by Medtronic uses accelerometer feedback to interpret custom vibrational ...
