Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

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

A rack and pinion steering system consists of a pinion (a circular gear) with a rack (a linear gear). The system works by converting a revolving motion into linear motion. Most cars, small trucks, and ...

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 ...
