End-of-arm tooling that combines vacuum and mechanical gripping comes as close as possible to the one tool that does it all and reduces the number of tool changeovers to a few or zero. The optimum ...

Abstract: This letter introduces a novel linear actuator with a high extension ratio, achieved through a unique planar transforming linkage mechanism (TLM) that serves as an articulated lead screw.

Bearings support rotational and linear motion of actuators and linkages ... commonly found in rod ends and various linkage assemblies. A widely used linkage in this field is the dog-bone linkage ...

I just thought my Marlin Slammer was really hard to play because that's how beginner electric guitars were. A builder check the truss rod used to adjust the neck of a guitar at the Fender factory ...

Testing the dead actuator. As [xxbiohazrdxx] explains, the switch on the dash is connected to a linear actuator that moves the lever on the transmission. The wiring and switch tested fine with a ...

The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion. The actuator uses five different parts, a few screws, and a common RC servo. The video shows the actuator ...
