When engineers think of advances in motion control technology, they usually think of faster motors, improved accuracy, or seemingly never-ending improvements in MOSFET efficiency. While these advances ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

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 ...

From Motion Plus Design, a non-profit project setting out to create the first exhibition center dedicated to motion design in Paris, comes this wonderful short film on the history of the discipline, ...

A creeping shift has redefined how brands maintain identity over recent years, chasing audiences as they jump between endless windows. In a world constantly in motion, James Britton explores the ...
