This is probably the last of three articles on how piecewise-linear functions could be used as a helpful on-ramp to the big ideas in calculus. In the first article, we saw how it’s possible to develop ...

In the past, machine builders often made their own linear actuators. They typically assembled, programmed, and troubleshot multiple components from different suppliers, including separate servodrives ...

Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...
