This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A linear actuator is a combination of linear guides and power-transmission components contained in an assembly.

Part one of this series, published in the January 2007 issue, discussed how to use linear superposition in the steady-state analysis of multiple heat-source systems. However, linear superposition also ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Linear superposition, as its name implies, is associated with linear systems. In your core undergraduate electrical circuits class, you learned that networks comprising only resistors, capacitors and ...

Most linear algebra courses start by considering how to solve a system of linear equations. \[ \begin{align} a_{0,0}x_0 + a_{0,1}x_0 + \cdots a_{0,n-1}x_0 & = b_0 ...
