The equation of motion of a discrete linear system has the form of a second-order ordinary differential equation with three real and square coefficient matrices. It is shown that, for almost all ...

The root locus for the equation Mÿ + Sy = 0 of undamped oscillatory motion, where M and S are symmetric, M is positive definite and S is nonnegative definite, lies on the imaginary axis of the ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Linear motion guideways constitute the backbone of many precision engineering applications, enabling constraint and guidance of moving components with high accuracy. Recent advancements have focused ...

Life science, medical and biomedical equipment manufacturers must constantly pursue improvements in advanced technology, workflows and processes to pursue competitive pressures and market growth. But ...

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 ...
