Armed with even with the most-sophisticated motion controller, engineers can still find it difficult to attain precise linear motion unless the mechanical components are appropriately designed for the ...

Linear motors and ball-screw drives seem to hog the limelight when it comes to linear motion. Rack-and-pinion drives, another type of linear motion device, get no respect. But they are perfectly ...

Above: Test fixture to explore proof of concept idea of linear assessment using an accelerometer. This project sponsored by Medtronic uses accelerometer feedback to interpret custom vibrational ...

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 ...

The Caroline Werner Gannett Project’s efforts to bring risk-taking thinkers in a wide variety of disciplines to RIT through its “Visionaries in Motion” series has been recognized by City Newspaper in ...

A viral video showing students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology clapping for a math professor during his last lecture has social media in a stir, for good reasons, of course. Gilbert ...
