A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

PI announces the launch of the V-625 direct drive rotation stage, a high-performance rotary positioning and scanning stage designed for applications requiring smooth, high-precision rotary motion.

Researchers have developed a prosthetic joint that connects directly to the forearm bones of an amputee, allowing them to use a prosthesis with a wrist-like rotary movement. Use of the new joint could ...

Rotary actuators produce oscillating power by rotating an output shaft through a fixed arc. They are compact, simple, and efficient. They produce high instantaneous torque in either direction and ...
