The rotary input of the motor-driven shaft is converted into linear output by the action of specially machined rolling-ring bearings. The mechanism generating the linear output is friction between ...

Adding a leadscrew for rotary-to-linear conversion keeps gearmotor output speed at around 1,000 rpm, which reduces generated heat at the leadscrew and nut-thread interface.

Dive into the world of mechanical principles demonstrated with LEGO, featuring unique mechanisms like the chain fountain, Geneva drive, and more. Watch as a weird track undulating machine comes to ...

This system converts rotary motion to linear motion or vice versa. It consists of a circular gear (pinion) meshing with a straight gear (rack), commonly used in steering mechanisms and machine tools.

However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple control afforded by an RC servo. The solution? A 3D printed housing that converts a servo’s rotation into linear motion.
