Many biomolecular motors catalyze the hydrolysis of chemical fuels, such as adenosine triphosphate, and use the energy released to direct motion through information ratchet mechanisms. Here we ...

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 designing for linear motion applications, it's often better to choose a linear motor over a rotary servomotor and rotary-to-linear conversion components. When designing for linear motion ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...
