Engineers focused on fast, light automation systems may pay too much attention to speed specs when acceleration is what really counts. Sponsored by Rollon Bearing speed is rarely the limiting ...

Dive into the world of motion by exploring the similarities and differences between linear and rotational kinematics. In this video, we break down key concepts, equations, and relationships that ...

Moving heavy materials through cutting, polishing and coating stages requires precise balancing of load capacity and motion speed. Here’s how the right linear guidance selection and configuration can ...

Velocity-time graphs show how the velocity (or speed) of a moving object changes with time. These graphs also show if the object is moving at a constant speed or accelerating, decelerating, or still.

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 ...

Motion and precision positioning systems expert PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a new member of the PIMag® family of precision positioning stages with magnetic direct drives. Oct. 14, 2015 Motion ...

Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of velocity. It ...
