Think of reciprocating motion, and cams — those kings of kinematic linkages — may come to mind. For good reason: Cams have been the traditional gold standard for reciprocating motion since the dawn of ...

Amacoil's linear motion platform is driven by a rolling ring drive that reciprocates automatically without requiring motor reversal. Using a control knob on the assembly, adjustments to linear speed ...

From huge kites to sea-bound flywheels and roof-top installations to tree-like art creations, we've seen many different approaches to capturing energy from the wind. One design, though, reigns supreme ...

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 ...
