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 ...

For a motor to power machinery, the local motion has to be translated into the ordered movement of other parts of the system. Organic chemists have now produced a light driven rotary motor in which ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

Customization of rotary and linear motion systems improves performance, reduces costs and simplifies complex applications in manufacturing and medical devices. Advances in smart, compact and ...

Biological rotary motors can alter their mechanical function by changing the direction of rotary motion. Achieving a similar reversal of direction of rotation in artificial molecular motors presents a ...

The two degrees of freedom in movement can be actuated independently or concurrently. The actuators can be run using a two-axis stepper-motor driver and chopper and/or microstepping drives. The Size ...
