Bearings do some of the heavy lifting in linear motion systems. Rather than defaulting to familiar choices by picking a size ...

This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

Certain electromagnetic devices such as differential transformers are effective at translating the displacement of a magnetic armature into an AC voltage, which is a linear function of the ...

A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a rod. Figure A depicts a mechanism utilized as a ...
