What is a Linear Motor? A linear motor should be thought of as rotary electric motor that has been cut along a radial plane and unrolled. The resultant motor is a direct drive linear electric motor ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

To fully appreciate the chief advantages of linear motors, it is helpful to compare them to ballscrews, another high-precision rotary-to-linear transmission system. Although typical ballscrews are ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

Abstract Structure and continuous motion estimation from point correspondences is a fundamental problem in computer vision that has been powered by well-known algorithms such as the familiar 5-point ...
