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 ...

Equipment motion control can involve one or more types, mechanisms, and geometries. Here are a few concepts: linear motion, such as a material handling pusher on top of a conveyor, may be simply ...

Thomson Industries, Inc. has upgraded its online sizing and selection tool, making it easier than ever for motion system ...

This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example ... There’s clearly a long way to go to tighten things up, but the basic mechanism looks like a clear win to us. Hats off to [Nixieguy ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...
