The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...

Above: Test fixture to explore proof of concept idea of linear assessment using an accelerometer. This project sponsored by Medtronic uses accelerometer feedback to interpret custom vibrational ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...
