Customization of rotary and linear motion systems improves performance, reduces costs and simplifies complex applications in manufacturing and medical devices. Advances in smart, compact and ...

Torsional vibration is an oscillatory angular motion causing twisting in the shaft of a system; the oscillatory motion is superimposed on the steady rotational motion of a rotating/reciprocating ...

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 ...

Reciprocating machines are diesel engines, gas engines, and reciprocating compressors, Fig. 15.1. The alignment procedure for these machines is similar to the reverse-indicator or face-and-rim methods ...
