Form, fit, and function, the engineering mantra made public in the 1990s, is usually applied in reference to consumer goods such as cars and cell phones. But the concept also holds in the design ...

Each application presents different challenges; however, in general, part-transfer systems use linear steppers with forces to 220 N or 50 lb; semiconductor, laser cutting, water-jet cutting, and ...

For tasks requiring sub-micrometer precision — such as alignment, adjustment, or fine positioning — PI's M-235, L-220, and M-230 series linear actuators deliver reliable, high-performance motion.

Light carries momenta that can be transferred to objects. Relying on gradient forces created by structured light, one can trap and move microscopic particles. Aside from the conservative action of ...

Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion describes what happens when an external force acts upon a massive body at rest or in uniform linear motion. What happens to the body from which that external ...

Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." ...
