A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor...

Reciprocating motion, also called reciprocation, is a repetitive up-and-down or back-and-forth linear motion. It is found in a wide range of mechanisms...

transportation, vertical linear motors have been proposed as lifting mechanisms in deep mines, and the use of linear motors is growing in motion control applications...

alternators work with linear motion (i.e. motion in a straight line). A linear alternator is most commonly used to convert back-and-forth motion directly into...

in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel)...

of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack). Together, they convert between rotational motion and...

a leadscrew, rotary motion can be adapted to function as a linear actuator (which produces a linear motion, but is not a linear motor). Another broad...

linear and angular, respectively. The same is true for other kinematic and kinetic quantities describing the motion of a rigid body, such as linear and...

or Hoberman linkage, is a deployable mechanism that turns linear motion into radial motion. The Hoberman mechanism is made of two angulated ridged bars...

mathematics, the term linear is used in two distinct senses for two different properties: linearity of a function (or mapping); linearity of a polynomial....

The free-piston linear generator (FPLG) uses chemical energy from fuel to drive magnets through a stator and converts this linear motion into electric energy...

recirculating ball) sector shaft, it converts the angular motion of the sector shaft into the linear motion needed to steer the wheels. The arm is supported by...

is a mechanism that converts rotational motion to linear motion, and a torque (rotational force) to a linear force. It is one of the six classical simple...

more pronounced is this apparent linear motion. The apparent linear motion can be turned into an actual linear motion by means of a follower that does...

friction is sufficient to prevent linear motion being converted to rotary, that is so the screw does not slip even when linear force is applied, as long as...

parallel chain. There are three Kinematic equations for linear (and generally uniform) motion. These are v = u + at v2 = u2 + 2as s = ut + ⁠1/2⁠at2 Besides...
