MISUMI Automation helps us examine different examples of mechanisms that convert rotary motion to linear motion along with industry applications.

A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion into linear, reciprocating motion.

We are shown how cams change rotary motion to linear motion. While the simplest example is limited to a single revolution, additional revolutions can be obtained by extending the working surface.

The term motion control is most often associated with the use of electrical servo drives—commonly called motion controllers—and associated servomotors to operate the equipment. Servos are connected ...

Roh'lix linear actuators consist of three precision ball bearings at each end of a two-piece aluminum carrier block. Mounted at an angle to the drive axis, the six bearings convert drive shaft ...

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… ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

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 ...

Track-roller linear guides and how they compare to other linear rails, slides, and ways to facilitate single and multi-axis linear motion — and the disparate ways these linear components ...
