Think of reciprocating motion, and cams — those kings of kinematic linkages — may come to mind. For good reason: Cams have been the traditional gold standard for reciprocating motion since the dawn of ...

Machines that turn, eject, cut, and spray rely on efficient, automatically reversing linear motion. Rolling-ring linear drives are commonly used in these types of applications because they eliminate ...

Early failure detection and analysis on today’s complex machine systems could mean cost savings in the long run for companies. Rochester Institute of Technology engineering students built a dynamic ...
