Walking in straight line towards a tree is not particularly difficult for us. Put on a blindfold, however, and the task becomes nearly impossible. Already about one hundred years ago, the researcher ...

Understanding the mechanical limitations of an actuator is critical to successfully applying linear motion devices. Here we review some basic concepts to help you get the most out of your straight ...

Because these traversing systems are so widespread, every aspect of linear electromechanical design is continually being improved — from guidance and load support to actuation and control. With its ...
