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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When endodontic retreatment is needed, is using a reciprocating or rotary instrumentation system a better option? Research has produced conflicting results. To learn more, a new randomized clinical ...

In this meta-analysis, the rate of PP following canal preparation using either reciprocating or rotary instrument was assessed. The PP incidence odds ratio was 1.27, favoring rotary instruments.
