Researchers have clarified the mechanisms by which energy loss is locally maximized at a certain rotational speed in ...

Planetary roller screw mechanisms (PRSMs) are advanced mechanical devices that convert rotational motion into precise linear displacement. Their design capitalises on an array of rolling elements ...

Gravity compensation mechanisms are essential innovations in robotics that counteract gravitational forces acting on manipulator arms and platforms. By offsetting the inherent weight-induced torques, ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in mind ...
