2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers, and in many other places where linear ...

3. Rigid chain actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator

   Rigid chain actuators function as rack and pinion linear actuators that use articulated racks. Rigid chain actuators use limited-articulation chains, usually resembling a roller chain, that engage with pinions mounted on a drive shaft within a housing. The links of the actuating member, the “rigid chain”, are articulated in a manner that ...

4. X-Y table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Y_Table

   XY tables are flat surfaces mounted on ball bearing slides or roller slides with multiple linear bases and are composed of forcers and platens. [1] The forcer glides over the platen on frictionless air bearings and moves continuously in a linear motion across the platen. To create multiple axis, linear bases are often stacked on top of one ...

5. Stewart platform - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_platform

   A Stewart platform is a type of parallel manipulator that has six prismatic actuators, commonly hydraulic jacks or electric linear actuators, attached in pairs to three positions on the platform's baseplate, crossing over to three mounting points on a top plate.

6. Linear stage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_stage

   Zaber motorized 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. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with "linear stage", though technically "linear slide" refers to a linear motion bearing, which is only a component of a linear stage.

7. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

   A leadscrew (or lead screw), also known as a power screw [1] or translation screw, [2] is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion. Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other linkages.
