Some DNA molecules may serve as handy micromachines to convert rotational motion into linear translation, an important function for positioning minuscule parts in microscopic devices. Researchers at ...

Linear actuators convert the rotary motion of motors into linear motion output, possessing good support and load-bearing capabilities, mainly used in high-load scenarios with small motion rotation ...

They carry loads at speeds up to 70 inches per second and are designed for horizontal or vertical applications. Ideal for positioning operations in all types of machinery, Roh'lix is often a less ...

A research team has developed a method to construct a biohybrid system that incorporates Vorticella microorganisms. The method allows movable structures to be formed in a microchannel and harnessed to ...

Ball splines are special motion control elements that can transmit or resist torque and linear motion simultaneously. Learn how to select the right ball splines for your high-speed motion and rotation ...

Macromolecules that can undergo a range of motions when stimulated by light or heat have been touted as potential components of tiny machines in nanoscale devices. One such assembly, reported by ...

Unlike traditional mechanical gears, which rely on physical contact between gear teeth, magnetic gears employ magnetic fields for motion conversion. A coaxial magnetic gear converts a low-speed, ...
