Linear bearings, also called linear guide systems, have been used in the U.S. since the early 1900s, most commonly in printing and textile industries. Tom Miller, Bearings business unit manager igus ...

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...

Researchers at Philips Applied Technologies, a subsidiary of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, have developed a way to let standard linear motors generate motion along two axes. What they ...

In a previous post, I was trying to show that the range of a projectile depends on the launch angle. Yes, this isn't that too difficult to see in an introductory physics course, but how do you show ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Earthquake-powered shifts along the seafloor that push water forward, not just up, could help supersize tsunamis. By combining laboratory experiments, computer simulations and real-world observations, ...

Scientists developed a neural network deep learning technique to extract hidden turbulent motion information from observations of the Sun. Tests on three different sets of simulation data showed that ...
