Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Much scientific research across a range of disciplines tries to find linear approximations of nonlinear behaviors. But what does that mean? Spend some time browsing around the web site of MIT’s ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A linear actuator is a combination of linear guides and power-transmission components contained in an assembly.
