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 ...

Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...

For a motor to power machinery, the local motion has to be translated into the ordered movement of other parts of the system. Organic chemists have now produced a light driven rotary motor in which ...

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 ...

Biological rotary motors can alter their mechanical function by changing the direction of rotary motion. Achieving a similar reversal of direction of rotation in artificial molecular motors presents a ...

Customization of rotary and linear motion systems improves performance, reduces costs and simplifies complex applications in manufacturing and medical devices. Advances in smart, compact and ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

On Jan. 28, 1919, 25 men gathered in the St. Charles Hotel in downtown Cape Girardeau to be initiated into a brand-new Rotary Club -- the first such club in Southeast Missouri. The Rotary movement had ...

STACEY: HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS ACROSS THE METRO ARE GETTING BRAND NEW COATS THIS WINTER. IT’S ALL THANKS TO THE ROTARY CLUB OF DES MOINES A.M. AND OPERATION WARM TODAY MORE THAN 150 COATS ...

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 in Cedar Rapids officially marks its 100th year in April. It began with 18 men meeting at the Montrose Hotel for lunch March 23, 1914, to lay out preliminary plans for the Cedar Rapids Rotary ...
