Q

anything that moves in a straight line, like our
linear actuators. Time, as far as we know, moves in a linear fashion. Just like rotary
devices, you can find linear cylinders in electric, pneumatic or hydraulic options.

Q

anything that moves in a circle. This type of motion was among
the first discovered in ancient times. Think of a spinning wheel on which people
spun wool. A car’s engine works the same way. Like linear cylinders, rotary
actuators are used across a wide range of industries and come in electric,
pneumatic and hydraulic options.

Q

related to other forms of motion, in particular. In this form of motion, an object is translated, or moved linearly, in one direction and then back along the same path in the opposite direction until it returns
to its starting point; the cycle is then repeated.

Q

Anything that repeats the motion
cycle after a certain period is considered to be . This type of motion is
found everywhere in our world: a sprinkler system, the pendulum of a clock or even
sound waves.
