Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Bearings housed in carriages and tables can ride on round shafts or square profile rails. Bearings housed in carriages and tables can ride on round shafts or square profile rails. We'll review the ...

Linear motion guideways constitute the backbone of many precision engineering applications, enabling constraint and guidance of moving components with high accuracy. Recent advancements have focused ...

In a homework problem for this course, students are asked to consider the motion of a system made up of a plate (having a mass of m) which is pinned to a cart B (having a mass of M) at corner O. The ...

Op amps are the basic building blocks for much of linear circuit design. You probably learned about them in college and even designed some products containing an op amp. As an electronic engineer, you ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...
