Motion may refer to any movement or change in position or time
"Motion" in an industrial context refers to the movement or activity of a machine or system. It encompasses a wide range of applications and technologies that control the movement of products and materials in various manufacturing and production processes. Some common examples include:
- Conveyors: Used to move materials, goods, and products along a production line.
- Robotics: Used to automate repetitive tasks, such as assembly, packaging, and material handling.
- Actuators: Used to control the movement of mechanical components, such as valves, pumps, and motors.
- Mechanisms: Used to transmit force and motion, such as gears, cams, and levers.
- Pneumatic and hydraulic systems: Used to control and power various types of machinery through the use of compressed air or liquid.
- Servo motors: Used to precisely control the speed, position, and orientation of a machine component.
- Ball screws: Used to convert rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa.
- Linear motion guides: Used to provide precise linear motion and support for machine components.
- Cam followers: Used to convert rotary motion into linear motion or to transfer motion from one axis to another.
- Linkages: Used to transmit force and motion from one component to another in machines and mechanical systems.
