How linear, rotary, reciprocating and oscillating motion are evolving as customization grows and new capabilities emerge.

From huge kites to sea-bound flywheels and roof-top installations to tree-like art creations, we've seen many different approaches to capturing energy from the wind. One design, though, reigns supreme ...

Amacoil's linear motion platform is driven by a rolling ring drive that reciprocates automatically without requiring motor reversal. Using a control knob on the assembly, adjustments to linear speed ...

Although split-ring seals are most often used for reciprocating motion, they are sometimes applied to hydraulic swivel joints and transmissions. Although split-ring seals are most often used for ...

They look harmless enough, but cams are some of the most complicated parts of your engine. In simple terms, cams are long, cylindrical-shaped shafts containing several irregular-shaped lobes that ...

A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion (movement that goes round in a circle) into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines, printing ...

The performance of reciprocating compressors remains a pivotal topic in the design and optimisation of industrial process systems due to their widespread application in refrigeration, energy storage ...

Demolition, remodelling or rough cutting, a reciprocating saw is crucial for all of these jobs. We provide the lowdown on ...
