Bearing (mechanical)

A ball bearing A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.

See Rotary stage and Bearing (mechanical)

Linear actuator

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. Rotary stage and linear actuator are Positioning instruments.

See Rotary stage and Linear actuator

Linear stage

A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a precise motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. Rotary stage and linear stage are Optomechanics and Positioning instruments.

See Rotary stage and Linear stage

Motion system

Motion system in engineering and systems, is a component of a test and measurement system that provides motion to a load or loads in a one or many directions.

See Rotary stage and Motion system

Plain bearing

Plain bearing on a 1906 S-Motor locomotive showing the axle, bearing, oil supply and oiling pad A sliding table with four cylindrical bearings (1) wheelset from a Great Western Railway (GWR) wagon showing a plain, or journal, bearing end A plain bearing, or more commonly sliding contact bearing and slide bearing (in railroading sometimes called a solid bearing, journal bearing, or friction bearing), is the simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements.

See Rotary stage and Plain bearing

Rolling-element bearing

In mechanical engineering, a rolling-element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing,ISO 15 is a bearing which carries a load by placing rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) between two concentric, grooved rings called races.

See Rotary stage and Rolling-element bearing

Stepper motor

A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor,Clarence W. de Silva.

See Rotary stage and Stepper motor

Worm drive

A worm drive is a gear arrangement in which a worm (which is a gear in the form of a screw) meshes with a worm wheel (which is similar in appearance to a spur gear).

See Rotary stage and Worm drive
